though_o maâ—y_v thing_n may_v be_v have_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n which_o will_v much_o enlarge_v this_o discourse_n yet_o i_o shall_v that_o i_o may_v contract_v pick_v up_o the_o

of_o ungodly_a man_n be_v sometime_o in_o scripture_n call_v a_o sleep_n though_o more_o seldom_o the_o worst_a as_o well_o as_o the_o best_a all_o mankind_n in_o general_n shall_v be_v raise_v at_o
