anger_n let_v flesh_n i_o beseech_v thou_o move_v thou_o to_o mercy_n that_o like_a as_o flesh_n have_v seduce_v and_o lead_v i_o to_o sin_n so_o flesh_n may_v get_v and_o obtain_v for_o i_o remission_n for_o certain_o it_o be_v much_o that_o my_o iniquity_n have_v deserve_v but_o much_o more_o it_o be_v that_o the_o goodness_n of_o my_o redeemer_n may_v even_o of_o right_n require_v my_o
