to_o see_v we_o govern_v by_o fit_a and_o proper_a substitute_n of_o his_o own_o designation_n but_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o such_o mercy_n as_o have_v befall_v

as_o i_o can_v convenient_o use_v on_o this_o grand_a occasion_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v that_o though_o god_n mercy_n to_o these_o kingdom_n have_v happen_v to_o be_v liable_a to_o
