that_o be_v so_o strict_a that_o they_o must_v needs_o worship_v in_o jerusalem_n religion_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o determine_v this_o that_o we_o will_v have_v a_o constant_a way_n that_o

and_o this_o will_v keep_v thing_n in_o peace_n now_o this_o counsel_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o fine_a plot_n to_o keep_v thing_n in_o order_n but_o say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o
