therefore_o when_o the_o prophet_n isa_n jerem._n and_o ezekiel_n speak_v what_o they_o see_v from_o god_n they_o speak_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n out_o of_o experience_n of_o what_o they_o see_v

of_o man_n say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n as_o the_o other_o do_v they_o be_v call_v false_a prophet_n because_o they_o have_v see_v nothing_o themselves_o of_o god_n but_o walk_v by_o the_o leg_n and_o see_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o true_a prophet_n for_o god_n do_v not_o threaten_v death_n to_o every_o city_n of_o every_o age_n of_o the_o world_n as_o to_o sodom_n and_o gomrorha_n nei●her_o captivity_n to_o every_o people_n as_o he_o do_v to_o israel_n under_o nebuchadnezar_n in_o babylon_n neither_o do_v he_o promise_v victory_n or_o deliverance_n to_o every_o army_n or_o

destruction_n when_o god_n purpose_v a_o victory_n these_o man_n speak_v at_o random_n and_o though_o they_o speak_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o scripture_n yet_o they_o speak_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o he_o that_o give_v life_n or_o destroy_v and_o so_o have_v see_v nothing_o from_o he_o they_o be_v to_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o false_a prophet_n they_o run_v before_o they_o be_v send_v a_o man_n may_v know_v the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o be_v a_o arch_a enemy_n to_o the_o god_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v they_o know_v the_o write_n of_o moses_n who_o write_v of_o
