to_o stir_v up_o through_o our_o prayer_n those_o mercy_n and_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n in_o the_o divine_a majesty_n for_o we_o must_v well_o remember_v in_o this_o behalf_n the_o place_n that_o be_v in_o the_o 14._o chap._n of_o the_o prophet_n osee_n who_o be_v wise_a &_o shall_v understand_v these_o thing_n and_o prudent_a and_o shall_v know_v they_o child_n a_o consolation_n against_o the_o extreme_a misery_n wherewith_o god_n do_v exercise_v his_o child_n for_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v right_a and_o the_o just_a also_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o but_o the_o ungodlie_a shall_v fall_v therein_o by_o which_o word_n it_o be_v show_v unto_o we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a wisdom_n right_o to_o mark_v the_o proceed_n of_o our_o god_n and_o to_o understand_v the_o end_n of_o they_o as_o well_o in_o his_o promise_n as_o in_o his_o threatening_n for_o they_o be_v always_o just_a and_o right_a and_o there_o be_v none_o but_o infidel_n and_o wicked_a man_n which_o stumble_v and_o fall_v in_o they_o but_o man_n common_o offend_v in_o this_o that_o they_o measure_v the_o thought_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n &_o do_v persuade_v

for_o my_o thought_n say_v the_o lord_n be_v not_o your_o thought_n 55.8_o esai_n 55.8_o neither_o my_o way_n your_o way_n for_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a than_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v my_o
