it_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o parable_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n as_o we_o find_v â—t_a in_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n where_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v liken_v

last_o of_o all_o it_o come_v to_o ripe_a fruit._n now_o as_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o corn_n to_o which_o he_o compare_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o which_o the_o scripture_n
