because_o it_o lead_v and_o keep_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o spiritual_a thraldom_n even_o as_o the_o monarchy_n of_o babylon_n lead_v and_o keep_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o a_o corporal_a

before_o 10_o he_o shall_v for_o his_o just_a reward_n and_o punishment_n drink_v of_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n yea_o of_o the_o pure_a and_o immix_v wine_n thereof_o pour_v out_o
