he_o do_v not_o torment_v the_o wicked_a with_o any_o manner_n evelles_fw-la but_o the_o good_a he_o proove_v they_o by_o many_o evellê_n that_o they_o may_v know_v that_o he_o be_v good_a to_o they_o not_o only_o in_o good_n that_o be_v present_a but_o also_o in_o riches_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o invinsible_a that_o they_o may_v say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o to_o

yet_o i_o have_v this_o confidence_n that_o god_n will_v let_v i_o feel_v his_o clemency_n and_o goodness_n much_o more_o than_o shall_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o disible_a good_n of_o the_o
