be_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n he_o laugh_v at_o the_o wicked_a in_o derision_n as_o in_o the_o 2._o psalm_n god_n see_v we_o follow_v our_o own_o way_n for_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o

let_v thy_o hart_n cheer_v thou_o let_v thy_o sin_n grieve_v thou_o for_o he_o mean_v otherwise_o then_o he_o speak_v he_o speak_v like_o michal_n in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n 2._o chap._n go_v up_o

of_o punishment_n shall_v be_v provide_v for_o thou_o how_o many_o year_n of_o pleasure_n thou_o have_v take_v so_o many_o year_n of_o pain_n how_o many_o dram_n of_o delight_n so_o many_o pound_n of_o dolour_n when_o iniquity_n have_v play_v her_o part_n vengeance_n leap_v upon_o the_o stage_n the_o comedy_n be_v short_a but_o the_o tragedy_n be_v long_o the_o black_a guard_n shall_v attend_v
