turn_v into_o joy_n we_o may_v rejoice_v in_o that_o very_a thing_n we_o sorrow_v for_o and_o our_o water_n of_o marah_n may_v become_v sweet_a and_o pleasant_a by_o our_o drink_n affliction_n be_v

person_n david_n tell_v we_o 31.9_o his_o eye_n be_v consume_v with_o grief_n yea_o his_o soul_n and_o his_o belly_n and_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o those_o who_o be_v 107.39_o bring_v low_o through_o

of_o heaviness_n come_v death_n for_o let_v every_o man_n assure_v himself_o that_o if_o he_o can_v in_o some_o sort_n overcome_v and_o master_v this_o tyrant_n by_o his_o own_o struggle_n and_o god_n

who_o say_v nisi_fw-la sanatus_fw-la sit_fw-la animus_n quod_fw-la sine_fw-la philosophia_fw-la non_fw-la potest_fw-la finem_fw-la miseriarum_fw-la nullum_fw-la fore_fw-la quamobrem_fw-la

that_o be_v the_o immediate_a gift_n of_o a_o divine_a power_n without_o some_o more_o special_a light_n or_o influence_n from_o above_o for_o although_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n
