you_o for_o any_o thing_n say_v manassas_n who_o be_v precedent_n in_o that_o assembly_n but_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v angry_a if_o be_v in_o doubt_n we_o follow_v the_o prescription_n of_o

about_o to_o take_v the_o voice_n which_o all_o agree_v that_o josebeth_n shall_v take_v the_o water_n of_o jealousy_n when_o they_o have_v pronounce_v that_o sentence_n she_o sit_v down_o quiet_o to_o see_v the_o execution_n which_o according_a to_o their_o present_a custom_n be_v on_o this_o manner_n if_o any_o man_n be_v jealous_a of_o his_o wife_n he_o be_v to_o come_v before_o the_o

the_o chief_a of_o their_o nation_n the_o way_n be_v this_o a_o priest_n write_v upon_o a_o piece_n of_o parchment_n these_o word_n let_v the_o woman_n who_o have_v be_v false_a to_o her_o husband_n
