and_o this_o administration_n oâ_n god_n do_v astonishe_v the_o world_n wonderful_o when_o they_o see_v a_o poor_a silly_a âodie_n who_o have_v no_o abettor_n or_o maynâeyner_n nor_o any_o man_n of_o countenance_n âo_o back_o he_o but_o that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o low_a âedge_n which_o every_o man_n may_v step_v over_o âot_n to_o be_v dismay_v with_o all_o this_o but_o âo_o lay_v he_o down_o as_o david_n say_v and_o sleep_v in_o much_o security_n when_o his_o enemy_n keep_v stout_a watch_n and_o pitchâth_v their_o tent_n against_o he_o job_n wife_n âsketh_v such_o a_o question_n of_o her_o husband_n ând_v that_o with_o much_o indignation_n do_v thou_o still_o persist_v in_o thy_o integrity_n think_v it_o absurd_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v constant_a in_o avouch_v the_o righteousness_n âf_fw-fr god_n when_o there_o appear_v no_o token_n âut_v of_o his_o wrath_n and_o fury_n assure_o all_o âhe_n confidence_n of_o man_n which_o they_o âave_n in_o worldly_a munition_n and_o all_o oâher_a mean_n of_o safety_n be_v like_o the_o house_n âf_o a_o spider_n in_o comparison_n of_o this_o and_o âherefore_o we_o see_v oftentimes_o their_o sun_n âoeth_v down_o at_o noon_n but_o when_o god_n ââdeth_v his_o child_n under_o the_o lap_n of_o âs_n garment_n neither_o man_n nor_o devil_n enemy_n shall_v not_o terrify_v we_o but_o ouâ_n eye_n be_v open_v by_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hold_v the_o mountain_n overspread_v witâ_n angel_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o whicâ_n they_o can_v discern_v namely_o that_o therâ_n be_v more_o with_o we_o than_o with_o they_o as_o thââ_n scripture_n
