a_o wicked_a man_n when_o his_o conscience_n give_v in_o evidence_n sufficient_a against_o he_o it_o may_v rather_o cause_v cavil_n then_o true_a conviction_n but_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o

so_o in_o this_o place_n the_o lord_n be_v about_o his_o execution_n upon_o the_o wicked_a time_n god_n in_o himself_o work_v out_o of_o all_o time_n in_o the_o be_v ●ure_a in_o due_a time_n

consider_v that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o determine_v of_o thy_o sin_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o punish_v thou_o assure_v thyself_o that_o this_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o every_o law_n of_o
