grow_v as_o hitherto_o he_o have_v do_v leave_v no_o hope_n for_o christendom_n to_o subsist_v but_o in_o their_o inward_a concord_n it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n be_v a_o reconciler_n

as_o it_o sometime_o fall_v out_o that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a soul_n to_o moan_v this_o vast_a body_n which_o make_v some_o of_o the_o big_a man_n to_o be_v neither_o the_o wise_a nor_o

be_v there_o no_o other_o great_a praesage_n of_o ruin_n than_o very_a massiness_n itself_o which_o every_o strong_a push_n or_o justle_v make_v reel_v and_o totter_v for_o want_v of_o that_o inward_a
