he_o most_o delight_v in_o be_v such_o where_o he_o may_v either_o do_v good_a or_o receive_v it_o and_o indeed_o i_o may_v say_v that_o like_o the_o master_n he_o serve_v he_o go_v about_o do_v

to_o multitude_n in_o the_o most_o silent_a and_o secret_a way_n he_o deliver_v the_o poor_a that_o cry_v and_o the_o fatherless_a and_o he_o that_o have_v none_o to_o help_v he_o the_o blessing_n of_o he_o that_o be_v ready_a to_o perish_v come_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o cause_v the_o widow_n heart_n to_o sing_v for_o joy_n yet_o in_o all_o this_o he_o observe_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o saviour_n
