the_o reason_n be_v that_o by_o the_o word_n father_n god_n understand_v as_o well_o king_n and_o prince_n as_o those_o that_o have_v beget_v we_o all_o the_o curse_n make_v against_o the_o

though_o it_o often_o seem_v otherwise_o be_v always_o fulfil_v for_o when_o a_o obedient_a son_n to_o his_o father_n or_o a_o faithful_a subject_n to_o his_o prince_n die_v young_a and_o in_o the_o

will_v make_v he_o abundant_o to_o prosper_v therein_o but_o if_o his_o admirable_a and_o incomprehensible_a providence_n see_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v sundry_a way_n grievous_o afflict_v he_o of●en_v time_n put_v he_o in_o safety_n and_o call_v he_o unto_o he_o in_o his_o mercy_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v still_o as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n as_o if_o a_o man_n promise_v i_o a_o hundred_o
