when_o you_o say_v the_o ark_n be_v holy_a i_o hope_v you_o think_v place_n of_o god_n special_a manifestation_n of_o himself_o be_v holy_a too_o and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o compose_v ourselves_o

the_o church_n preserve_v the_o truth_n five_o thousand_o year_n before_o presbytery_n be_v hear_v of_o and_o it_o may_v preserve_v they_o many_o year_n more_o when_o presbytery_n shall_v be_v hear_v
