rigteousness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o to_o conceal_v his_o love_a kindness_n and_o truth_n from_o the_o great_a congregation_n be_v what_o the_o royal_a psalmist_n will_v not_o do_v no_o

it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o reasonable_a and_o necessary_a but_o it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n to_o give_v thanks_o he_o that_o can_v pretend_v to_o contain_v the_o sense_n of_o such_o mercy_n in_o

tell_v we_o that_o he_o that_o oppress_v the_o poor_a reproach_n god_n but_o that_o he_o honour_n god_n who_o have_v mercy_n upon_o the_o poor_a the_o wise_a son_n of_o syrach_n tell_v we_o that_o
