they_o turn_v in_o outward_a action_n who_o with_o david_n fetch_v home_o the_o a●ke_n 1_o so_o do_v the_o ninivite_fw-la which_z sa_v &_o pray_v at_o the_o king_n commandment_n 8_o so_o do_v also_o the_o jew_n and_o grecian_n which_o burn_v their_o book_n 7_o in_o affection_n turn_v the_o jew_n in_o babylon_n 137_o which_o mourn_v and_o we_o pt_v at_o the_o remembrance_n of_o zion_n 42_o in_o affection_n turn_v david_n in_o banishment_n when_o he_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o god_n house_n with_o the_o people_n but_o can_v not_o in_o affection_n also_o turn_v those_o man_n which_o mourn_v for_o all_o the_o abomination_n that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o jerusalem_n 4_o and_o in_o affection_n also_o the_o apostle_n turn_v when_o he_o desire_v to_o do_v all_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o can_v not_o be_v lead_v captive_a into_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n 7_o so_o we_o in_o many_o thing_n may_v turn_v both_o in_o outward_a action_n and_o affection_n as_o from_o idolatry_n to_o the_o gospel_n from_o ignorance_n to_o knowledge_n &_o in_o many_o thing_n more_o some_o thing_n be_v yet_o want_v which_o the_o church_n shall_v have_v if_o she_o have_v she_o right_n as_o

and_o therefore_o see_v in_o outward_a action_n
