our_o soul_n all_o our_o mind_n all_o our_o might_n all_o our_o strength_n all_o our_o force_n in_o this_o his_o service_n all_o our_o member_n both_o head_n hand_n and_o heart_n yea_o all_o part_n

this_o so_o strange_a a_o miracle_n to_o see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o amaze_v at_o death_n for_o it_o set_v both_o devil_n law_n sin_n hell_n grave_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o he_o all_o
