yet_o they_o can_v never_o be_v bury_v the_o people_n nation_n tongue_n and_o language_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v bury_v because_o their_o doctrine_n however_o condemn_v before_o hand_n

notwithstanding_o all_o their_o fury_n against_o it_o their_o joy_n in_o hope_n they_o have_v suppress_v their_o prophecy_n and_o their_o send_v gift_n one_o to_o another_o for_o it_o yet_o it_o

be_v most_o just_o style_v miracle_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o train_n and_o connexion_n of_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o general_a order_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n for_o
