there_o be_v a_o new_a rise_n of_o sin_n against_o he_o to_o answer_v thou_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v difference_n between_o time_n of_o war_n and_o time_n of_o victory_n between_o the_o day_n of_o conflict_n and_o the_o day_n of_o conquest_n now_o be_v our_o day_n of_o conflict_n and_o that_o of_o sin_n which_o remain_v in_o thou_o must_v rise_v again_o in_o thou_o that_o it_o may_v be_v subdue_v when_o rebeccah_n have_v twin_n in_o she_o she_o be_v trouble_v and_o marvel_v at_o it_o and_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n who_o tell_v she_o the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a
