at_o any_o time_n we_o can_v discern_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n let_v we_o charge_v ourselves_o with_o ignorance_n but_o take_v heed_n of_o charge_v god_n with_o injustice_n after_o god_n

this_o we_o may_v likewise_o safe_o affirm_v in_o the_o general_n that_o sin_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n as_o of_o all_o other_o judgement_n so_o likewise_o this_o of_o the_o plague_n the_o

provoke_a cause_n of_o the_o plague_n now_o or_o any_o other_o time_n be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o conclude_v i_o think_v the_o safe_a way_n be_v one_o of_o these_o three_o 1._o either_o to_o
