upon_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o body_n and_o there_o he_o see_v a_o ghastly_a spectacle_n oh_o now_o if_o the_o face_n of_o a_o reconcile_a god_n in_o christ_n do_v not_o shine_v what_o a_o fearful_a condition_n do_v the_o poor_a man_n lie_v in_o again_o sometime_o god_n command_v a_o disease_n to_o take_v away_o a_o man_n appetite_n and_o stomach_n to_o his_o meat_n and_o it_o do_v it_o so_o that_o his_o life_n abhor_v bread_n and_o his_o soul_n dainty_a meat_n job_n 33.20_o so_o psalm_n 107.18_o and_o this_o be_v the_o sad_a case_n of_o many_o a_o man_n who_o have_v with_o dives_n
