only_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o again_o i_o desire_v thou_o may_v not_o seek_v after_o a_o sign_n like_o a_o foolish_a and_o adulterous_a generation_n leave_v while_o with_o herod_n thou_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o see_v some_o miracle_n from_o he_o thou_o fall_v short_a of_o christ_n and_o christ_n work_v none_o at_o all_o before_o thou_o as_o
