never_o get_v out_o of_o your_o amazement_n but_o if_o you_o retreat_n to_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o this_o old_a distinction_n you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o unfold_v the_o mystery_n of_o providence_n and_o solve_v the_o difficulty_n of_o it_o in_o such_o hard_a case_n as_o that_o of_o the_o royal_a martyr_n where_o god_n for_o wise_a reason_n of_o his_o own_o do_v only_o suffer_v rebel_n and_o

a_o man_n may_v well_o be_v amaze_v and_o perplex_v into_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o difficulty_n and_o absurdity_n and_o to_o rid_v his_o mind_n of_o they_o be_v tempt_v rather_o to_o think_v there_o be_v
