noah_n to_o become_v a_o laugh_a stock_n to_o his_o own_o son_n what_o heart-breaking_n to_o david_n by_o his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v thrust_v from_o his_o kingdom_n so_o grievous_a be_v those_o

the_o lord_n have_v try_v they_o long_o by_o tradition_n and_o they_o profit_v not_o as_o be_v plain_a in_o every_o commandment_n and_o therefore_o this_o law_n for_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o then_o
