requisite_a for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o people_n can_v not_o be_v do_v without_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o counsel_n and_o wisdom_n and_o policy_n and_o strength_n and_o power_n and_o the_o

we_o be_v all_o become_v abominable_a and_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o but_o in_o all_o man_n there_o be_v corruption_n in_o the_o best_a man_n there_o be_v defection_n be_v what_o the_o best_a of_o all_o our_o actious_a be_v and_o in_o the_o angel_n unfaithfulness_n have_v be_v find_v and_o therefore_o god_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o in_o unbelief_n that_o every_o

rather_o with_o these_o beast_n and_o those_o holy_a cherubim_n to_o cover_v our_o foot_n with_o two_o of_o their_o wing_n but_o by_o this_o cover_n of_o our_o foot_n we_o must_v not_o understand_v the_o hide_v and_o cover_v of_o our_o sin_n as_o most_o of_o we_o use_n to_o do_v for_o solomon_n tell_v you_o plain_o that_o he_o which_o hide_v his_o sin_n shall_v not_o prosper_v 28.13_o prov._n
