when_o they_o think_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o run_v to_o the_o land_n of_o caâ—aan_n no_o but_o there_o be_v great_a death_n in_o the_o way_n they_o must_v go_v through_o a_o

as_o in_o some_o generation_n it_o have_v be_v but_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n may_v appear_v second_o because_o although_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o great_a new_a testament_n
