pour_v out_o the_o spirit_n from_o on_o high_a and_o such_o a_o plentiful_a increase_n of_o judgement_n and_o righteousness_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o subject_a of_o what_o i_o shall_v offer_v

he_o indeed_o by_o what_o display_v of_o his_o divine_a power_n he_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v express_v or_o conceive_v doubtless_o it_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n that_o be_v accommodate_v to_o our_o rational_a faculty_n and_o full_o consistent_a with_o that_o liberty_n that_o be_v essential_a to_o a_o free_a creature_n but_o tho'_o the_o nature_n of_o these_o
