this_o virtue_n of_o vigilancy_n or_o watchfulness_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o brief_o to_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o be_v commend_v unto_o we_o by_o that_o word_n the_o

be_v he_o that_o watch_v and_o in_o the_o 13._o 13.34_o mark_n 13.34_o of_o mark_n the_o son_n of_o man_n say_v christ_n be_v as_o a_o man_n go_v into_o a_o strange_a country_n and_o leave_v his_o
