that_o unhappy_a party_n so_o great_a a_o length_n for_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n but_o you_o understand_v not_o my_o drift_n in_o it_o it_o be_v that_o i_o may_v get_v credit_n

for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n by_o their_o put_v credit_n upon_o i_o that_o way_n i_o will_v have_v a_o fair_a opportunity_n to_o get_v many_o a_o good_a turn_n do_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o honest_a man_n gang_v thy_o way_n man_n the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n gang_n with_o thou_o for_o we_o will_v either_o have_v good_a god_n gate_n or_o will_v never_o have_v good_a at_o all_o for_o good_a be_v not_o good_a if_o it_o come_v not_o god_n gate_n we_o look_v never_o that_o god_n will_v trist_n we_o with_o good_a through_o such_o foul_a finger_n as_o you_o we_o look_v that_o god_n will_v trist_n we_o with_o good_a through_o a_o cleanly_a hand_n but_o i_o never_o know_v that_o this_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o i_o never_o know_v that_o the_o scripture_n state_v the_o matter_n thus_o that_o folk_n shall_v do_v evil_a than_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o i_o ween_v ay_o that_o folk_n shall_v have_v do_v good_a at_o present_a if_o they_o will_v have_v have_v good_a to_o have_v follow_v on_o it_o but_o i_o never_o know_v that_o folk_n be_v to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v follow_v i_o never_o read_v that_o in_o all_o the_o bible_n and_o i_o have_v read_v it_o all_o from_o the_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o and_o some_o of_o it_o twice_o over_o but_o i_o never_o read_v that_o in_o it_o all_o go_v thy_o way_n man_n the_o

now_o in_o our_o day_n i_o think_v if_o the_o king_n will_v command_v the_o most_o iniquous_a law_n that_o ever_o be_v command_v in_o a_o church_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o will_v give_v
