with_o which_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o present_a that_o the_o land_n abound_v you_o must_v remember_v ioseph_n dream_n 9_o that_o their_o sheaf_n shall_v do_v obeisance_n to_o his_o sheaf_n and_o the_o

you_o may_v know_v he_o send_v his_o ten_o son_n and_o not_o his_o servant_n to_o do_v their_o obeisance_n for_o corn_n but_o not_o without_o attendance_n as_o we_o may_v easy_o collect_v from_o
