and_o dirt_n and_o shout_n and_o raise_v heap_n and_o tumult_n against_o a_o innocent_a people_n that_o lift_v up_o a_o hand_n against_o no_o man_n that_o seek_v the_o righteousness_n and_o good_a

this_o be_v the_o command_n and_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o meet_v together_o from_o house_n to_o house_n and_o christ_n who_o meet_v on_o hill_n mountain_n and_o in_o the_o wilderness_n
