that_o the_o people_n may_v not_o go_v into_o captivity_n which_o prove_v that_o this_o be_v a_o absolute_a prohibition_n yea_o for_o further_a fortification_n of_o this_o reason_n take_v notice_n that_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o pray_v for_o fortification_n their_o deliverance_n that_o occasion_v from_o the_o great_a wrong_n they_o offer_v he_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n he_o
