unto_o they_o by_o the_o almighty_a creator_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o god_n be_v as_o well_o able_a to_o govern_v and_o maintain_v all_o thing_n without_o mean_n as_o he_o be_v at_o first_o to_o constitute_v and_o create_v the_o frame_n of_o nature_n but_o such_o be_v his_o pleasure_n that_o he_o do_v work_n by_o mean_n and_o not_o immediate_o in_o all_o thing_n &_o therefore_o though_o
