streit_n against_o their_o enemy_n even_o then_o lord_n when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o great_a pride_n and_o presumption_n and_o in_o the_o very_o high_a pinnacle_n of_o their_o jollity_n and_o

for_o albeit_o they_o run_v in_o form_n of_o a_o imprecation_n yet_o it_o be_v consider_v what_o david_n be_v a_o prophet_n we_o must_v needs_o think_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o speech_n be_v the_o
