although_o his_o enemy_n have_v so_o vex_v he_o and_o have_v throw_v so_o many_o slanderous_a report_n and_o reproachful_a speech_n against_o he_o yea_o all_o their_o treachery_n and_o conspiracy_n notwithstanding_o yet_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o that_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v to_o revenge_v again_o but_o rejoice_v that_o the_o lord_n keep_v he_o in_o the_o soundness_n &_o uprightness_n of_o
