when_o man_n shall_v have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o despair_v of_o safety_n and_o a_o expectation_n of_o a_o loathsome_a end_n this_o be_v a_o misery_n that_o go_v beyond_o the_o degree_n of_o

31_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o storm_n at_o the_o sea_n that_o in_o it_o we_o may_v see_v the_o diverse_a manner_n of_o mind_n in_o distress_n some_o sit_v weep_v and_o wail_v till_o the_o sea_n swallow_v they_o some_o one_o more_o able_a to_o abide_v death_n then_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n cut_v his_o own_o throat_n to_o prevent_v drown_v some_o prey_n some_o curse_n as_o if_o the_o

and_o work_v unexpected_a mischief_n o_o the_o forcible_a power_n of_o the_o word_n that_o have_v such_o strange_a effect_n i_o will_v evermore_o admire_v thou_o and_o in_o admire_v thou_o love_v thou_o 32_o i_o have_v think_v often_o o_o that_o i_o can_v serve_v god_n as_o i_o wish_v but_o since_o i_o can_v do_v as_o i_o will_v i_o will_v still_o go_v on_o and_o content_v myself_o with_o that_o measure_n of_o grace_n my_o father_n have_v bestow_v upon_o i_o 33_o good_a man_n and_o such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o most_o sweet_a carriage_n and_o fair_a demeanour_n be_v often_o unjust_o

their_o heart_n can_v tumble_v with_o overmuch_o kindness_n o_o wretched_a man_n thus_o to_o lay_v the_o fair_a complexion_n on_o the_o filthy_a favour_n and_o to_o set_v forth_o both_o in_o

most_o approve_a goodness_n but_o when_o they_o have_v hurt_v guiltless_a person_n and_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o punishment_n o_o the_o cowardice_n of_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n angry_a threaten_n
