that_o it_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v so_o resolute_a for_o god_n as_o for_o his_o sake_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v even_o with_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n whereas_o

you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o they_o h●a●d_v there_o what_o aga●us_o have_v prophesy_v namely_o how_o paul_n shall_v be_v bind_v at_o jerusalem_n the_o friend_n of_o pau●_n and_o it_o be_v
