the_o glory_n and_o the_o praise_n for_o ever_o as_o moses_n and_o barach_n and_o david_n have_v worthy_o teach_v by_o their_o holy_a example_n in_o the_o like_a case_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n my_o

wherewith_o be_v much_o grieve_v he_o can_v often_o complain_v and_o lament_v with_o tear_n as_o then_o when_o joab_n have_v kill_v the_o noble_a captain_n abner_n david_n friend_n but_o some_o
