1._o first_o begin_v to_o call_v thou_o the_o father_n of_o mercy_n and_o the_o god_n of_o all_o consolation_n a_o father_n that_o he_o may_v signify_v that_o like_o a_o father_n thou_o will_v help_v

let_v he_o behold_v those_o honour_a and_o grace_v in_o this_o palace_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v his_o adversary_n and_o enemy_n there_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o great_a and_o famous_a sinner_n
