yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o be_v admonish_v to_o seek_v a_o better_a rest_n elsewhere_o we_o see_v that_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v a_o rest_n but_o only_o in_o shadow_n and_o

this_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o gather_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o they_o and_o us._n for_o although_o they_o and_o we_o have_v one_o end_n set_v before_o we_o unto_o which_o we_o
