most_o grievous_a evil_n of_o this_o life_n but_o some_o will_v say_v if_o death_n be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o

but_o for_o god_n to_o he_o he_o live_v and_o prolong_v his_o life_n till_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o give_v he_o the_o reward_n of_o a_o well-spent_a life_n it_o be_v free_a for_o god_n to_o
