2._o another_o cause_n of_o covetousness_n be_v man_n diffidence_n and_o distrust_n of_o god_n fatherly_a care_n and_o providence_n over_o they_o ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o distrust_n of_o god_n

almighty_a to_o speak_v with_o reverence_n to_o trust_v in_o he_o to_o depend_v on_o he_o and_o to_o cast_v our_o care_n on_o he_o but_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a provocation_n to_o he_o to_o distrust_v he_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n in_o mark_n 6._o from_o 25._o to_o the_o end_n charge_v his_o disciple_n three_o several_a time_n to_o take_v no_o thought_n for_o their_o life_n
