of_o divine_a anger_n as_o notice_n of_o god_n displeasure_n against_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n man_n be_v wilful_o blind_a and_o will_v see_v that_o god_n be_v displease_v and_o the_o tremble_a and_o

that_o the_o errand_n they_o come_v upon_o be_v to_o correct_v and_o reform_v sinner_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v too_o evident_a it_o be_v a_o judgement_n when_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n have_v
