certain_o god_n will_v recompense_v we_o with_o good_a if_o we_o do_v it_o with_o ill_a if_o we_o omit_v it_o for_o though_o he_o seem_v angry_a with_o his_o church_n for_o a_o time_n as_o david_n

though_o for_o the_o present_a they_o seem_v to_o be_v under_o the_o cloud_n of_o his_o anger_n and_o doubtless_o the_o lord_n will_v take_v it_o exceed_o ill_n if_o we_o shall_v neglect_v our_o

jer._n 2._o 3._o it_o be_v say_v israel_n be_v a_o hallow_a thing_n to_o the_o lord_n my_o first_o fruit_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o devour_v it_o shall_v offend_v and_o evil_a shall_v come_v to_o
