at_o the_o last_o they_o must_v draw_v christ_n out_o of_o heaven_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o place_n of_o a_o judge_n to_o rander_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o do_v now_o another_o

and_o sit_v down_o in_o a_o judgement_n seat_n what_o comfort_n be_v this_o you_o see_v many_o will_v shake_v and_o shudder_v when_o they_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o fain_o will_v desire_v never_o to_o
