and_o of_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o no_o art_n can_v show_v principle_n so_o irrefragable_a position_n so_o infallible_a as_o these_o of_o the_o prophet_n a_o godly_a man_n be_v

a_o whole_a congregation_n of_o the_o righteous_a at_o once_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o dare_v not_o presume_v to_o use_v the_o name_n of_o righteous_a till_o it_o be_v first_o determine_v of_o in_o

by_o no_o right_n be_v give_v to_o any_o till_o they_o be_v try_v and_o have_v their_o approbation_n in_o the_o judgement_n to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o righteousness_n stand_v not_o so_o much_o

to_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n and_o who_o will_v ever_o look_v for_o such_o a_o blind_a reason_n from_o a_o prophet_n but_o be_v it_o not_o that_o the_o prophet_n have_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o our_o

like_a to_o chaff_n wickedness_n indeed_o procure_v they_o to_o be_v make_v like_o chaff_n but_o what_o make_v they_o here_o the_o prophet_n be_v silent_a and_o say_v nothing_o and_o by_o say_v

god_n resist_v the_o proud_a but_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a but_o for_o all_o this_o and_o nevertheless_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o these_o be_v yet_o but_o negative_a mark_n and_o can_v
