transgress_v thy_o holy_a law_n and_o ordinance_n we_o have_v exceed_v in_o measure_n number_n and_o weight_n the_o iniquity_n of_o our_o forefather_n and_o have_v thereby_o just_o deserve_v that_o thou_o shall_v in_o thy_o just_a judgement_n have_v draw_v forth_o the_o sword_n of_o thy_o justice_n and_o execute_v vengeance_n even_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n against_o we_o according_a to_o
