13._o ver_fw-la that_o he_o shall_v stand_v up_o in_o his_o lot_n as_o a_o peculiar_a and_o special_a favour_n that_o god_n shall_v bestow_v upon_o he_o now_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o peculiar_a and_o special_a favour_n for_o a_o saint_n to_o stand_v up_o at_o the_o great_a day_n at_o the_o last_o day_n this_o be_v a_o favour_n to_o daniel_n as_o a_o eminent_a saint_n that_o he_o shall_v
