even_o when_o most_o afflict_a as_o david_n 1_o sam._n 30.6_o when_o he_o be_v in_o that_o great_a trouble_n when_o his_o wife_n be_v take_v captive_a and_o his_o child_n and_o the_o people_n speak_v of_o ston_a david_n what_o do_v he_o do_v but_o david_n encourage_v himself_o in_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n so_o shall_v we_o do_v when_o we_o be_v discourage_v as_o to_o the_o world_n than_o we_o

our_o own_o corruption_n than_o all_o the_o malice_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o the_o affliction_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n we_o have_v not_o know_v what_o sorrow_n mean_v have_v not_o

that_o we_o have_v that_o godly_a sorrow_n that_o work_v repentance_n unto_o salvation_n for_o worldly_a sorrow_n alone_o only_o cause_v death_n o_o let_v sin_n be_v more_o lay_v to_o heart_n and_o
