and_o earth_n as_o be_v already_o make_v we_o must_v needs_o agree_v that_o whatsoever_o good_a thing_n be_v in_o we_o of_o grace_n of_o nature_n or_o of_o fortune_n be_v of_o god_n only_o as_o the_o

ship_n to_o a_o perfect_a end_n then_o deliver_v he_o it_o to_o the_o mariner_n &_o take_v no_o more_o cure_n thereof_o nay_o god_n have_v not_o so_o create_v the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v careless_a of_o it_o but_o he_o still_o preserve_v it_o by_o his_o goodness_n he_o still_o stay_v it_o in_o his_o creation_n for_o else_o without_o his_o special_a goodness_n it_o can_v not_o stand_v long_o in_o
