high_a wisdom_n and_o give_v credence_n unto_o it_o and_o follow_v it_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o find_v much_o better_a &_o sure_a instruction_n namely_o that_o this_o horrible_a plague_n of_o the_o

thou_o and_o bring_v thou_o to_o naught_o and_o certain_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a truth_n and_o the_o very_a original_n of_o these_o plague_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o doubt_v thereon_o for_o though_o the_o foresay_a natural_a cause_n do_v somewhat_o agree_v also_o thereunto_o yet_o be_v it_o sure_a and_o undoubted_a that_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v send_v and_o stir_v up_o out_o of_o god_n wrath_n

will_v it_o be_v you_z they_o believe_v i_o for_o all_o the_o token_n that_o i_o have_v do_v upon_o they_o therefore_o will_v i_o smite_v and_o destroy_v they_o with_o pestilence_n and_o make_v of_o thou_o a_o great_a nation_n than_o this_o likewise_o also_o when_o david_n cause_v the_o people_n to_o be_v number_v against_o god_n commandment_n he_o displease_v the_o lord_n god_n horrible_o

the_o noon_n day_n for_o these_o four_o adversity_n set_v forward_o and_o shorten_v the_o life_n of_o the_o unbeléever_n but_o the_o faithful_a have_v such_o consolation_n and_o promise_n that_o he_o
