to_o be_v the_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n and_o at_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n to_o have_v send_v he_o to_o suffer_v death_n for_o sin_n for_o he_o may_v then_o have_v show_v we_o sackcloth_n

that_o they_o shall_v be_v forgive_v of_o god_n by_o put_v on_o of_o sackcloth_n or_o by_o sit_v in_o the_o dust_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o satisfy_n for_o sin_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n

and_o to_o have_v deserve_v death_n and_o destruction_n the_o king_n and_o his_o citizen_n have_v their_o sumptuous_a and_o precious_a apparel_n on_o festival_n day_n at_o marriage_n and_o at_o
