believe_v and_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n good_a work_n the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n praise_v he_o too_o herein_o be_v your_o heavenly_a father_n glorify_v say_v our_o saviour_n that_o you_o bring_v

in_o scripture_n that_o may_v praise_v he_o for_o it_o be_v always_o most_o just._n or_o be_v it_o a_o due_a and_o moderate_a anger_n of_o man_n upon_o just_a cause_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o praise_v he_o too_o in_o despite_n of_o the_o stoic_n but_o that_o wicked_a and_o disorder_a wrath_n which_o be_v undoubted_o here_o mean_v that_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n that_o be_v both_o uncomely_a and_o
