few_o of_o the_o philosopher_n attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n to_o understande_v that_o by_o afliction_n we_o be_v exercise_v of_o god_n hand_n &_o to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o

thou_o must_v geve_v place_n to_o god_n because_o thou_o labour_v in_o vain_a to_o resist_v he_o for_o true_o if_o we_o obey_v god_n alone_a because_o we_o must_v do_v so_o than_o if_o we_o can_v
