creature_n if_o any_o evil_n befall_v they_o without_o his_o will_n and_o appointment_n but_o natural_a conscience_n see_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o all_o the_o evil_n we_o suffer_v whatever_o

that_o the_o wickedness_n and_o injustice_n the_o wrath_n and_o fury_n of_o man_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n for_o why_o shall_v the_o evil_n we_o suffer_v from_o man_n so_o

do_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o a_o provoke_v father_n or_o prince_n when_o they_o fly_v to_o god_n it_o be_v to_o implore_v his_o mercy_n as_o humble_a penitent_n to_o appease_v his_o anger_n that_o
