a_o poor_a miserable_a creature_n commend_v my_o love_n commend_v my_o mercy_n to_o such_o a_o poor_a soul_n and_o tell_v he_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o enemy_n to_o i_o yet_o i_o be_o a_o

second_o a_o little_a which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v seasonable_a and_o that_o be_v the_o wrangle_a hypocrite_n there_o be_v a_o company_n of_o wretched_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o fawn_n and_o

but_o try_v they_o and_o prove_v they_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o otherwise_o they_o will_v not_o open_o profess_v that_o they_o will_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o when_o all_o come_v to_o
