think_v it_o impossible_a for_o god_n even_o this_o way_n

wise_a and_o skilful_a agent_n when_o our_o expectation_n be_v balk_v and_o our_o aim_n frustrate_v we_o cry_v it_o be_v do_v by_o chance_n and_o think_v that_o be_v all_o whereas_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o god_n oftentimes_o delight_v to_o make_v our_o wisdom_n foolishness_n and_o thereby_o give_v we_o caution_n not_o to_o trust_v our_o own_o foresight_n since_o the_o event_n of_o

at_o his_o discretion_n that_o he_o be_v the_o sole_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n that_o he_o will_v be_v seek_v unto_o for_o his_o blessing_n and_o that_o we_o must_v wait_v his_o pleasure_n and_o

the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o expect_v he_o shall_v bring_v thing_n about_o for_o advantage_n and_o satisfaction_n for_o though_o grace_n love_v to_o
