many_o time_n with_o we_o but_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a and_o be_v unchangeable_a though_o he_o may_v permit_v he_o and_o his_o people_n enemy_n to_o practice_v and_o prosper_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o not_o always_o no_o they_o shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o that_o with_o a_o great_a destruction_n pray_v observe_v how_o thing_n issue_v at_o last_o in_o that_o very_a psalm_n
