up_o of_o the_o new_a ireusalem_n he_o send_v forth_o his_o word_n that_o be_v he_o speak_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n &_o mind_n of_o his_o holy_a minister_n that_o they_o shall_v speak_v unto_o the_o congregation_n that_o which_o he_o enjoin_v they_o the_o second_o observation_n be_v that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o we_o that_o speak_v unto_o you_o but_o the_o
