give_v can_v hardly_o seann_v that_o portcullis_n of_o heaven_n since_o we_o know_v no_o more_o what_o the_o ramble_a mean_n in_o the_o air_n of_o all_o those_o glorious_a machine_n and_o can_v the_o

usual_a with_o man_n mighty_a when_o under_o sad_a oppression_n to_o complain_v it_o be_v usual_a to_o cry_v out_o it_o be_v customary_a for_o man_n at_o such_o occasion_n to_o miscarry_v as_o thou_o of_o late_o have_v do_v in_o their_o expression_n because_o of_o the_o multitude_n of_o their_o oppression_n i_o know_v indeed_o by_o nature_n man_n be_v prone_a with_o bitter_a exclamation_n to_o bemoan_v the_o sad_a disaster_n which_o they_o undergo_v by_o reason_n of_o oppression_n i_o know_v oppression_n true_o in_o its_o full_a career_n be_v hard_a for_o any_o mortal_a man_n to_o bear_v hence_o some_o think_v they_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o cry_v when_o under_o such_o a_o bitter_a agony_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o this_o be_v the_o usual_a way_n of_o many_o godly_a person_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o affliction_n this_o be_v that_o indeed_o which_o most_o of_o man_n do_v for_o their_o error_n plead_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o method_n man_n shall_v use_v night_n under_o oppression_n hence_o i_o do_v excuse_v those_o usual_a complaint_n and_o exclamation_n in_o which_o man_n vent_v themselves_o at_o such_o occasion_n for_o o_o if_o they_o consider_v thing_n aright_o they_o will_v not_o thus_o with_o their_o affliction_n fight_v nor_o vex_v at_o their_o oppression_n like_o fool_n or_o cry_v aloud_o and_o weep_v like_o boy_n at_o school_n no_o no_o they_o shall_v to_o god_n themselves_o address_v to_o he_o alone_o they_o shall_v in_o their_o distress_n apply_v themselves_o with_o zeal_n and_o fervency_n for_o he_o can_v only_o send_v they_o remedy_n in_o time_n of_o trouble_n he_o alone_o can_v give_v true_a comfort_n to_o they_o he_o can_v make_v they_o live_v when_o they_o be_v about_o to_o die_v when_o help_v from_o man_n have_v fail_v and_o for_o supply_v they_o look_v in_o vain_a from_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n he_o unexpected_o do_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o all_o their_o misery_n he_o make_v they_o change_v their_o note_n and_o glad_o sing_v amid_o their_o great_a pain_n and_o suffering_n nay_o we_o shall_v even_o in_o gratitude_n apply_v heaven_n ourselves_o to_o god_n in_o time_n of_o misery_n because_o he_o reason_n on_o we_o

free_a it_o be_v true_a some_o man_n do_v in_o affliction_n cry_v man_n to_o god_n and_o seem_v with_o servour_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o he_o in_o prayer_n but_o after_o all_o the_o almighty_a
