nor_o alter_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_v out_o of_o my_o lip_n and_o according_a to_o this_o part_n of_o his_o covenant_n we_o must_v pray_v he_o to_o deal_v with_o we_o that_o be_v that_o though_o he_o do_v just_o chastise_v we_o with_o this_o plague_n for_o our_o sin_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o take_v his_o love_a kindness_n from_o we_o and_o so_o play_v as_o david_n do_v o_o lord_n
