thomas_n and_o as_o he_o have_v do_v with_o we_o very_o often_o and_o in_o many_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o prophet_n note_v to_o have_v be_v very_o often_o in_o the_o people_n

the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o compass_v he_o in_o certain_a bound_n and_o to_o indent_v with_o he_o after_o this_o manner_n if_o he_o will_v do_v so_o and_o so_o for_o

do_v often_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v they_o return_v and_o tempt_v god_n for_o when_o they_o have_v tempt_v god_n thus_o one_o way_n than_o they_o do_v it_o a_o other_o way_n for_o sometime_o they_o desire_v water_n sometime_o meat_n sometime_o dainty_a flesh_n as_o quail_n and_o that_o so_o importunate_o that_o they_o say_v unless_o they_o have_v these_o thing_n according_a to_o their_o own_o desire_n they_o think_v either_o that_o god_n can_v not_o do_v it_o or_o that_o he_o care_v not_o for_o they_o and_o thus_o they_o speak_v against_o god_n say_v 19_o vers_fw-la 19_o can_v god_n prepare_v a_o table_n in_o the_o wilderness_n behold_v he_o smite_v the_o rock_n that_o the_o water_n gush_v out_o and_o the_o stream_n overflow_v can_v he_o give_v bread_n also_o and_o

they_o so_o do_v many_o unbeliever_n of_o our_o time_n look_v what_o they_o earnest_o desire_v if_o they_o have_v it_o not_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o god_n care_v for_o they_o &_o hereupon_o some_o of_o they_o say_v if_o i_o may_v have_v such_o a_o thing_n i_o will_v think_v that_o god_n love_v i_o and_o other_o say_v if_o god_n will_v bestow_v this_o or_o that_o upon_o i_o i_o will_v hope_v that_o i_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n and_o what_o thing_n be_v they_o then_o which_o they_o desire_v only_o outward_a and_o appertain_v to_o this_o life_n and_o so_o according_a to_o their_o present_a want_n through_o unbelief_n they_o limit_v the_o love_n of_o god_n some_o to_o one_o thing_n some_o to_o a_o other_o and_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o but_o by_o the_o

prevail_v in_o they_o be_v subject_a unto_o these_o temptation_n and_o to_o these_o desire_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v if_o i_o be_v rid_v of_o this_o affliction_n which_o have_v lie_v heavy_o
