have_v of_o any_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v open_v in_o this_o psalm_n in_o that_o at_o the_o first_o time_n the_o prophet_n record_v god_n work_n and_o be_v so_o trouble_v in_o his_o mind_n that_o he_o

of_o all_o people_n condemn_v that_o never_o learn_v to_o know_v god_n word_n in_o sickness_n nor_o in_o health_n but_o when_o they_o be_v trouble_v or_o sick_a they_o send_v for_o such_o as_o they_o think_v and_o fancy_n have_v learned_a and_o do_v remember_v how_o god_n word_n do_v comfort_n in_o adversity_n and_o then_o if_o he_o that_o be_v send_v for_o be_v not_o learned_a in_o god_n word_n he_o can_v remember_v how_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o comfort_v the_o trouble_a or_o sick_a then_o all_o that_o ever_o the_o sick_a man_n hear_v of_o a_o ignorant_a comforter_n or_o counsellor_n be_v as_o clean_o void_a of_o consolation_n or_o counsel_n as_o though_o he_o have_v never_o send_v for_o a_o counsellor_n or_o comforter_n for_o no_o man_n can_v have_v more_o of_o another_o than_o the_o

when_o the_o prophet_n be_v in_o trouble_n he_o remember_v the_o wisdom_n and_o marvellous_a work_n of_o god_n for_o he_o know_v they_o before_o so_o let_v all_o man_n and_o woman_n learn_v before_o
