of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a then_o greatness_n of_o suffering_n and_o affliction_n be_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o you_o shall_v doubt_v of_o god_n love_n or_o of_o your_o own_o

and_o they_o be_v in_o the_o cave_n and_o den_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o such_o of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a possible_o then_o thy_o affliction_n man_n or_o woman_n may_v be_v very_o
