malicious_a person_n who_o seek_v and_o hunt_v after_o occasion_n of_o suit_n and_o contention_n may_v not_o only_o be_v restrain_v but_o by_o severe_a censure_n make_v example_n to_o warn_v other_o to_o beware_v of_o uncharitableness_n as_o david_n pray_v to_o god_n lord_n be_v not_o merciful_a to_o they_o that_o sin_n of_o malicious_a wickedness_n so_o do_v i_o to_o you_o my_o lord_n
