even_o in_o some_o measure_n in_o a_o immediate_a dependence_n on_o his_o will._n he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o depend_v too_o much_o on_o humane_a mean_n he_o will_v give_v we_o to_o

do_v not_o finish_v his_o work_n by_o this_o way_n he_o will_v certain_o do_v it_o by_o another_o we_o think_v that_o he_o will_v have_v perform_v that_o great_a work_n by_o two_o excellent_a person_n and_o he_o have_v now_o teach_v we_o that_o have_v begin_v it_o by_o two_o illustrious_a head_n he_o will_v perfect_v it_o by_o one._n our_o great_a queen_n have_v be_v not_o a_o little_a useful_a
