have_v cast_v off_o the_o good_a prayer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o be_v profitable_a and_o comfortable_a the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v make_v their_o friend_n as_o enemy_n to_o

in_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o our_o late_a royal_a and_o gracious_a sovereign_n therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v frame_v evil_a against_o you_o and_o devise_v a_o device_n against_o you_o unless_o that_o you_o do_v return_v every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o your_o evil_a way_n and_o make_v your_o way_n and_o your_o do_n good_a the_o lord_n will_v bring_v a_o everlasting_a reproach_n

to_o displease_v he_o and_o grieve_v one_o another_o as_o they_o have_v do_v but_o they_o can_v condemn_v all_o but_o themselves_o but_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v stir_v i_o up_o for_o to_o
