together_o with_o his_o soul_n immortal_a and_o most_o glorious_a and_o this_o he_o declare_v in_o the_o verse_n follow_v for_o because_o he_o say_v his_o heart_n be_v merry_a he_o geve_v a_o reason_n because_o he_o shall_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n and_o because_o that_o he_o say_v his_o flesh_n rest_v in_o hope_n he_o yield_v a_o reason_n say_v neither_o will_v thou_o suffer_v thy_o
