before_o my_o eye_n i_o sure_o determine_v with_o myself_o that_o god_n have_v regard_n both_o of_o the_o godly_a and_o also_o the_o ungodly_a that_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n

the_o just_a god_n require_v the_o which_o be_v not_o unknown_a even_o unto_o the_o more_o pure_a judgement_n of_o man_n his_o reason_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o
