10_o for_o what_o desert_n can_v be_v more_o base_a and_o obscure_a then_o to_o give_v a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n to_o one_o that_o be_v a_o thirst_n and_o yet_o for_o it_o also_o have_v god_n

since_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o can_v by_o his_o word_n only_o increase_n and_o multiply_v they_o without_o end_n nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v lest_o perhaps_o he_o be_v
