for_o the_o answer_n to_o that_o it_o be_v give_v thus_o which_o be_v a_o very_a satisfy_a answer_n that_o therefore_o the_o people_n answ_n of_o god_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n by_o the_o name_n

turn_v to_o god_n than_o other_o there_o be_v more_o argument_n to_o persuade_v thy_o heart_n than_o other_o turn_v thou_o to_o god_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o any_o
