for_o some_o unvoluntary_a error_n which_o thou_o bewail_v and_o mourn_v for_o in_o his_o presence_n do_v the_o lord_n seek_v thou_o at_o that_o time_n when_o thou_o despise_v he_o certain_o then_o

have_v forsake_v some_o old_a truth_n of_o god_n and_o be_v grow_v weary_a of_o they_o and_o hankerest_n after_o novelty_n and_o new_a opinion_n then_o return_v from_o thy_o wander_n and_o prize_v
