i_o shall_v starve_v and_o die_v if_o i_o stay_v here_o but_o in_o my_o father_n house_n be_v bread_n enough_o he_o look_v to_o that_o alsufficient_a fullness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n to_o supply_v

of_o his_o nature_n which_o one_o that_o be_v save_o humble_v have_v wrought_v in_o he_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o ground_n and_o principle_n whence_o they_o arise_v ground_n the_o first_o arise_v

but_o so_o as_o any_o unreasonable_a creature_n if_o in_o danger_n use_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o what_o wonder_n then_o be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o have_v some_o
