what_o they_o speak_v of_o god_n as_o in_o psal_n 8.1_o o_o god_n our_o lord_n how_o wonderful_a one_o that_o have_v not_o the_o psalm_n in_o their_o memory_n know_v not_o if_o the_o work_n or_o mercy_n or_o fearful_a judgement_n of_o god_n or_o the_o great_a power_n and_o cruelty_n of_o the_o enemy_n be_v call_v wonderful_a until_o that_o the_o line_n be_v sing_v out_o and_o the_o next_o line_n read_v in_o psal_n 84.1_o o_o lord_n since_o vengeance_n do_v to_o thou_o etc._n etc._n three_o line_n be_v sing_v out_o and_o the_o four_o read_v before_o they_o know_v the_o sentence_n and_o weak_a memory_n forget_v what_o they_o sing_v before_o the_o second_o or_o three_o line_n be_v read_v some_o can_v not_o repeat_v the_o first_o line_n after_o the_o read_n they_o abuse_v god_n name_n also_o when_o the_o last_o line_n be_v read_v albeit_o they_o understand_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o none_o sense_n to_o sing_v only_o apart_o viz._n the_o last_o line_n &_o not_o the_o whole_a sentence_n with_o understanding_n and_o many_o understand_v not_o the_o sentence_n even_o at_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o last_o line_n because_o they_o forget_v the_o former_a line_n before_o the_o

themselves_o understand_v not_o many_o word_n which_o they_o both_o read_v and_o sing_v ignorance_n be_v tolerable_a when_o god_n reveal_v not_o the_o matter_n but_o not_o when_o man_n procure_v it_o by_o a_o rash_a practice_n nor_o yet_o when_o they_o will_v seem_v wise_a in_o the_o thing_n they_o understand_v not_o will_v not_o a_o king_n be_v offend_v if_o his_o servant_n speak_v to_o he_o as_o
