can_v speak_v the_o same_o thing_n of_o himself_o do_v thou_o mourn_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o man_n then_o will_v god_n look_v upon_o thou_o and_o be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o as_o he_o use_v to_o do_v to_o they_o that_o love_v his_o name_n for_o thou_o also_o love_v his_o name_n do_v thy_o eye_n drop_v down_o tear_n because_o man_n keep_v not_o god_n law_n then_o will_v he_o order_v thy_o

of_o tear_n become_v stream_n of_o comfort_n wherein_o thy_o soul_n may_v bathe_v itself_o with_o much_o content_n godly_a sorrow_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o sound_a joy_n these_o tear_n be_v the_o
