and_o then_o will_v set_v up_o a_o kingdom_n in_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n in_o a_o far_o great_a glory_n for_o though_o christ_n come_v in_o great_a state_n then_o the_o

the_o duty_n to_o reform_v themselves_o and_o to_o be_v example_n of_o the_o same_o to_o the_o nation_n we_o find_v therefore_o universal_o in_o scripture_n there_o be_v so_o much_o application_n to_o
