seem_v that_o god_n lay_v heavy_a and_o sore_a affliction_n upon_o we_o then_o upon_o many_o other_o yet_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o know_v the_o corruption_n and_o hardness_n of_o our_o

again_o but_o they_o remember_v that_o promise_n no_o long_o than_o they_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o the_o rod_n and_o this_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n who_o so_o long_o as_o the_o plague_n be_v heavy_a upon_o he_o &_o his_o land_n make_v no_o small_a show_n of_o repentance_n and_o promise_v that_o if_o moses_n and_o aaron_n will_v pray_v for_o he_o that_o the_o plague_n
