shall_v flee_v away_o and_o all_o tear_n be_v wipe_v from_o all_o face_n yet_o though_o god_n by_o these_o do_v chastise_v and_o try_v we_o yet_o the_o devil_n by_o they_o take_v advantage_n to_o tempt_v we_o unto_o many_o sin_n and_o discourage_v we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n so_o great_a be_v the_o frailty_n of_o man_n that_o both_o in_o prosperity_n and_o adversity_n he_o be_v in_o

use_v when_o we_o depart_v out_o of_o his_o presence_n and_o take_v our_o leave_n with_o our_o heavenly_a father_n amen_o be_v make_v the_o conclusion_n and_o by_o it_o we_o signify_v our_o desire_n
