there_o can_v be_v a_o better_a counsellor_n than_o god_n spirit_n see_v the_o way_n of_o blessing_n your_o child_n and_o you_o that_o have_v curse_v your_o child_n as_o many_o a_o father_n have_v do_v both_o with_o bitter_a curse_n in_o word_n and_o also_o by_o walk_v in_o a_o way_n of_o cursednesse_n abhor_v yourselves_o that_o have_v walk_v into_o a_o way_n quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o
