the_o ground_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v because_o ira_fw-la est_fw-la tam_fw-la ex_fw-la amore_fw-la quam_fw-la ex_fw-la odio_fw-la anger_n be_v as_o much_o out_o of_o love_n as_o hatred_n it_o be_v

therefore_o a_o cross_n and_o stubborn_a action_n from_o such_o a_o one_o provoke_v more_o to_o anger_n than_o from_o any_o other_o man_n as_o from_o a_o son_n from_o a_o friend_n from_o a_o wife_n it_o wound_v more_o and_o therefore_o god_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o jealous_a god_n jealousy_n be_v a_o mix_a affection_n of_o love_n and_o anger_n the_o meaning_n be_v if_o i_o

learn_v from_o hence_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n to_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n and_o see_v he_o will_v endure_v no_o uncleanness_n 1_o in_o his_o own_o people_n stand_v in_o awe_n and_o sin_n not_o
