unto_o we_o for_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v take_v from_o we_o because_o we_o be_v unworthy_a of_o they_o or_o because_o we_o glory_v and_o trust_v over_o much_o in_o they_o and_o be_v not_o so_o thankful_a for_o they_o as_o we_o ought_v if_o we_o have_v any_o help_n by_o they_o we_o must_v consider_v whether_o god_n have_v not_o deptive_v we_o of_o they_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o
