the_o humility_n of_o our_o prayer_n bend_v unto_o mercy_n the_o rigour_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o obtain_v of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v be_v more_o merciful_a unto_o we_o than_o we_o be_v

our_o will_n i_o apprehend_v well_o enough_o what_o offend_v you_o in_o this_o discourse_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thorn_n which_o gall_v i_o in_o time_n pass_v upon_o this_o very_a same_o way_n you_o
