that_o my_o people_n have_v be_v thus_o and_o thus_o or_o will_v be_v thus_o and_o thus_o thou_o be_v a_o gracious_a god_n and_o merciful_a slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a kindness_n and_o

any_o quick_a sense_n at_o all_o of_o he_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n be_v good_a righteous_a unchangeable_a but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o conception_n of_o goodness_n righteousness_n and_o unchangeableness_n and_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o that_o herein_o which_o we_o esteem_v perfection_n in_o ourselves_o before_o we_o attribute_v they_o to_o he_o when_o we_o make_v god_n then_o to_o be_v always_o gracious_a to_o those_o that_o do_v well_o and_o displease_v with_o evil_n and_o so_o bring_v or_o determine_v to_o bring_v a_o judgement_n on_o one_o and_o bestow_v a_o
