people_n be_v love_v by_o he_o but_o they_o be_v not_o all_o man_n so_o great_o belove_v as_o daniel_n god_n reckon_v up_o noah_n daniel_n and_o job_n as_o three_o favourite_n that_o can_v do_v far_o

of_o earthly_a king_n but_o alas_o the_o blind_a world_n judge_v otherwise_o what_o will_v man_n do_v nay_o what_o will_v they_o not_o do_v to_o procure_v the_o favour_n of_o prince_n which_o when_o
