of_o god_n even_o extraordinary_o elect_v certain_o moses_n whilst_o he_o bring_v the_o people_n of_o god_n out_o of_o egypt_n wrought_v wonderful_a miracle_n as_o your_o brotherhood_n know_v in_o

when_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n or_o rebel_v against_o he_o he_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o open_v and_o swallow_v they_o up_o he_o foil_v the_o enemy_n with_o victory_n and_o show_v
