our_o heart_n the_o hand_n as_o ant._n guevara_n observe_v do_v work_n the_o sit_fw-mi do_v walk_v the_o tongue_n speak_v but_o it_o be_v the_o heart_n only_o that_o weep_v the_o eye_n be_v but_o

mourn_v more_o than_o you_o do_v if_o you_o have_v not_o yet_o mourn_v for_o your_o sin_n and_o amend_v they_o but_o if_o you_o have_v then_o rejoice_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o bless_v

how_o short_a your_o mourning_n must_v be_v you_o will_v soon_o guess_v and_o the_o sun_n must_v not_o go_v down_o upon_o your_o grief_n no_o more_o than_o it_o must_v upon_o your_o wrath_n but_o if_o
