another_o and_o this_o be_v see_v in_o the_o light_n of_o divine_a glory_n that_o many_o eminent_a instrument_n in_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n have_v bring_v shame_n &_o confusion_n upon_o

kindle_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o they_o who_o once_o employ_v they_o in_o his_o service_n therefore_o o_o israel_n give_v thou_o the_o honour_n and_o the_o glory_n unto_o thy_o god_n
