for_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o beside_o our_o transgression_n there_o be_v in_o god_n secret_a counsel_n other_o cause_n of_o our_o cross_n and_o calamity_n but_o see_v the_o lord_n have_v in_o his_o

such_o physic_n as_o will_v thorough_o work_v if_o david_n will_v lie_v and_o commit_v adultery_n and_o fall_v to_o murder_v innocent_n what_o can_v god_n do_v less_o for_o david_n unless_o he_o
