to_o my_o chin_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o my_o annual_a world_n so_o that_o i_o drown_v all_o worldly_a thing_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n yet_o these_o i_o pass_v over_o likewise_o and_o

and_o mercy_n have_v captivate_v my_o sense_n so_o that_o in_o these_o water_n i_o be_o like_a to_o be_v drown_v and_o have_v lose_v she_o who_o be_v never_o find_v by_o i_o in_o the_o way_n i_o

of_o ointment_n unsavoury_a three_o for_o my_o pattern_n of_o justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o my_o star_n there_o be_v few_o find_v fault_n with_o but_o in_o my_o meteor_n they_o think_v to_o have_v a_o
