unto_o cyrus_n thou_o be_v my_o shepherd_n according_o cyrus_n take_v order_n for_o gather_v the_o scatter_a sheep_n of_o israel_n for_o raise_v they_o up_o from_o a_o kind_n of_o civil_a death_n

it_o be_v easy_a from_o our_o own_o thought_n to_o draw_v out_o the_o parallel_n that_o he_o come_v like_o the_o former_a rain_n at_o his_o holy_a nativity_n and_o like_o the_o latter_a rain_n at_o

the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o it_o be_v great_a still_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o wisdom_n the_o apostle_n count_v all_o thing_n no_o better_o than_o dung_n good_a only_a as_o
