help_n of_o god_n now_o it_o fall_v out_o oftentimes_o that_o god_n handle_v such_o people_n according_a too_o their_o desire_n as_o if_o he_o will_v even_o fat_v they_o up_o until_o the_o due_a time_n of_o punish_v they_o be_v come_v and_o contrariwise_o he_o afflict_v his_o church_n with_o many_o adversity_n and_o handle_v it_o wonderful_a rough_o or_o rather_o leave_v it_o too_o languish_v
