be_v within_o a_o possibility_n of_o any_o calamity_n we_o must_v altogether_o forsake_v the_o earth_n and_o have_v no_o commerce_n with_o the_o present_a world_n all_o that_o i_o can_v say_v here_o be_v this_o we_o must_v not_o by_o our_o own_o negligence_n make_v to_o ourselves_o and_o create_v cross_n we_o must_v walk_v very_o circumspect_o in_o all_o our_o affair_n and_o take_v heed_n that_o
