the_o merciful_a thou_o will_v show_v thyself_o merciful_a with_o a_o upright_a man_n thou_o will_v show_v thyself_o upright_o with_o the_o pure_a thou_o will_v show_v thyself_o pure_a and_o with_o the_o froward_a thou_o will_v learn_v frowardness_n the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n be_v to_o go_v along_o with_o man_n in_o their_o own_o way_n to_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o they_o carry_v

till_o in_o a_o little_a time_n he_o become_v the_o sole_a and_o absolute_a monarch_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o make_v it_o a_o most_o flourish_a kingdom_n and_o give_v many_o the_o most_o

moreover_o show_v his_o power_n in_o exalt_v the_o throne_n from_o so_o low_a to_o such_o a_o lofty_a state_n as_o if_o alfred_n the_o great_a sit_v in_o it_o again_o and_o this_o we_o owe_v to_o
