from_o heaven_n the_o israelite_n be_v sore_o plague_v &_o jerusalem_n come_v to_o a_o shameful_a end_n this_o notwithstanding_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v commit_v every_o where_n no_o more_o can_v we_o allege_v for_o ourselves_o that_o dance_v and_o lasciviousness_n be_v lawful_a because_o it_o be_v use_v everye_o where_o for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n as_o
