commination_n to_o be_v use_v divers_a time_n in_o the_o year_n take_v out_o of_o deut._n 27._o i_o answer_v that_o that_o place_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o as_o all_o

of_o the_o world_n for_o such_o therefore_o be_v this_o commination_n necessary_a that_o hereby_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o acknowledge_v their_o sin_n to_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o require_v
