the_o justice_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o soul_n in_o such_o a_o measute_n as_o have_v make_v all_o his_o bone_n to_o quake_v let_v he_o not_o judge_v those_o who_o have_v be_v so_o deal_v withal_o

o_o how_o well_o be_v scripture_n like_v and_o how_o swift_o be_v the_o worship_n carry_v on_o when_o it_o suit_n with_o sense_n and_o reason_n but_o o_o how_o harsh_a be_v scripture_n and_o the_o
