general_a day_n of_o judgement_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o but_o let_v i_o desire_v of_o all_o such_o stargazer_n and_o star-believer_n serious_o to_o ponder_v that_o place_n of_o

therefore_o say_v the_o text_n verse_n the_o 11_o the_o that_o be_v because_o you_o have_v thus_o sin_v in_o punt_a confidence_n in_o these_o stargazer_n and_o forsake_v i_o the_o god_n of_o the_o

for_o inthe_a 14_o and_o 15_o verse_n see_v the_o judgement_n of_o heaven_n denounce_v against_o the_o stargazer_n themselves_o behold_v say_v the_o text_n they_o shall_v be_v as_o stubble_n the_o
