a_o misdo_n or_o miss_v to_o do_v wherefore_o as_o in_o a_o scrivener_n the_o write_v proceed_v chief_o from_o the_o scrivener_n but_o the_o ill_a write_v by_o blot_v or_o blur_v proceed_v from_o

to_o do_v and_o want_v of_o goodness_n can_v spring_v from_o the_o author_n of_o do_v and_o fountain_n of_o goodness_n 12._o but_o what_o now_o final_o be_v this_o god_n who_o both_o make_v and_o
