miserable_o and_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a his_o people_n make_v no_o mourning_n for_o he_o as_o for_o other_o king_n so_o he_o be_v neither_o happy_a live_n nor_o honour_v dead_a because_o he_o seek_v

of_o the_o lord_n i_o may_v speak_v of_o other_o and_o all_o to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v special_o humble_v prince_n when_o they_o have_v forsake_v or_o impugn_a his_o true_a worship_n do_v
