better_o appear_v do_v but_o thus_o reason_n with_o thyself_o if_o i_o commit_v a_o offence_n or_o if_o another_o offend_v be_v a_o innocent_a and_o guiltless_a man_n call_v in_o question_n or_o do_v

call_v down_o the_o same_o will_v thou_o avoid_v this_o pestilence_n scare_v thy_o sin_n more_o than_o the_o city_n if_o thou_o remove_v thy_o sin_n from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o city_n

of_o your_o seed_n no_o more_o will_v the_o eternal_a careful_a and_o love_a husbandman_n suffer_v any_o unsavoury_a weed_n i_o mean_v any_o sin_n to_o over-pere_a or_o oversway_n his_o good_a seed_n which_o be_v his_o grace_n offer_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n he_o have_v vouchsafe_v insomuch_o that_o when_o he_o behold_v sin_n in_o his_o pride_n and_o grow_v even_o to_o his_o head_n of_o
