against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o his_o anointed_n that_o be_v mere_o mean_v of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o that_o carnal_a man_n ordinary_o do_v not_o speak_v or_o

god_n manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n god_n in_o the_o mediator_n god_n in_o his_o saint_n god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n god_n in_o his_o command_n and_o the_o like_a then_o the_o man_n of_o the_o

hold_v not_o thy_o peace_n be_v not_o still_o you_o see_v the_o prophet_n look_v upon_o god_n as_o one_o that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o conspiracy_n do_v keep_v silence_n and_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o sit_v still_o not_o that_o god_n do_v use_v to_o speak_v or_o to_o stir_v proper_o as_o we_o man_n do_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o many_o time_n when_o his_o son_n jesus_n

the_o enemy_n of_o god_n as_o we_o see_v chap._n 39_o do_v oppress_v this_o people_n they_o do_v pray_v to_o he_o and_o look_v for_o assistance_n from_o he_o but_o he_o be_v silent_a as_o it_o be_v
