therefore_o we_o must_v commend_v the_o care_n of_o all_o unto_o god_n who_o say_v except_o the_o lord_n build_v the_o house_n they_o labour_v in_o vain_a that_o build_v it_o and_o 127.1_o psal_n

therefore_o we_o must_v say_v and_o do_v as_o david_n do_v 16.5.8_o and_o 16.5.8_o thou_o will_v maintain_v my_o lot_n and_o again_o i_o have_v set_v the_o lord_n always_o before_o i_o for_o he_o be_v
