therefore_o be_v that_o man_n that_o can_v meet_v with_o such_o a_o friend_n as_o job_n and_o jethro_n be_v that_o will_v be_v instead_o of_o a_o oculist_n unto_o he_o to_o open_v his_o eye_n by_o

the_o text_n say_v his_o eye_n be_v open_v and_o he_o see_v that_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o this_o in_o my_o conceit_n be_v a_o lively_a resemblance_n of_o love_a reprehension_n the_o rod_n you_o

he_o have_v do_v amiss_o that_o will_v do_v it_o and_o this_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o david_n desire_v to_o be_v smite_v to_o be_v reprove_v ut_fw-la videat_fw-la that_o he_o may_v see_v his_o
