not_o though_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v his_o enemy_n while_o god_n be_v his_o friend_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v win_v by_o its_o enticement_n nor_o daunt_v by_o its_o threaten_n but_o he_o stand_v

on_o earth_n which_o he_o pass_v in_o heaven_n while_o this_o therefore_o tell_v he_o that_o god_n be_v his_o refuge_n and_o strength_n he_o may_v say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n what_o follow_v i_o

we_o place_v wisdom_n in_o learning_n this_o also_o if_o it_o be_v sanctify_v by_o grace_n be_v a_o very_a great_a blessing_n but_o without_o that_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o curse_n without_o
