a_o meditation_n upon_o lament_n 5._o verse_n 21._o turn_v thou_o we_o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v turn_v renew_v our_o day_n as_o of_o old_a we_o be_v mutable_a and_o what_o wonder_n see_v we_o be_v creature_n we_o can_v know_v that_o we_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o but_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o to_o nothing_o we_o may_v return_v again_o and_o indeed_o thither_o we_o hasten_v if_o we_o be_v leave_v unto_o ourselves_o for_o mar_v ourselves_o we_o can_v but_o we_o can_v mend_v ourselves_o we_o can_v dedestroy_v what_o god_n have_v build_v but_o we_o can_v repair_v what_o we_o do_v destroy_v wretched_a power_n that_o be_v only_o able_a to_o disinable_a we_o and_o have_v no_o strength_n but_o to_o enfeeble_v he_o who_o strength_n it_o be_v i_o read_v of_o adam_n the_o first_o monument_n of_o this_o unhappy_a strength_n but_o i_o may_v read_v it_o in_o myself_o i_o as_o all_o his_o son_n inherit_v as_o his_o nature_n so_o this_o self_n ruine_v power_n but_o when_o experience_n have_v make_v i_o see_v how_o valiant_a i_o have_v be_v against_o myself_o inflict_v deadly_a wound_n precipitate_v my_o person_n and_o misguide_v my_o step_n i_o become_v disconsolate_a and_o helpless_a in_o myself_o what_o then_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o who_o then_o shall_v i_o seek_v to_o the_o fiend_n of_o hell_n that_o solicit_v i_o to_o sin_n to_o the_o worldly_a vanity_n by_o which_o my_o lust_n be_v bait_v well_o may_v they_o add_v to_o my_o fall_n raise_v i_o again_o they_o can_v they_o will_v not_o such_o evil_a tree_n bear_v no_o such_o good_a fruit_n and_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v rather_o have_v i_o a_o companion_n in_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o their_o woe_n then_o seek_v to_o free_v i_o from_o or_o ease_v i_o in_o either_o of_o they_o but_o happy_o the_o good_a angel_n as_o they_o be_v more_o able_a so_o they_o be_v more_o willing_a to_o pity_v to_o relieve_v i_o but_o they_o behold_v thy_o face_n o_o lord_n and_o stir_v not_o but_o when_o thou_o send_v they_o and_o they_o only_o to_o who_o thou_o send_v can_v be_v the_o better_a for_o they_o these_o heavenly_a spirit_n that_o attend_v thy_o throne_n move_v not_o but_o at_o thy_o beck_n and_o do_v no_o more_o than_o thou_o command_v i_o see_v then_o that_o if_o i_o stray_v it_o be_v thou_o that_o must_v fetch_v i_o home_o it_o be_v thou_o lord_n that_o must_v lift_v i_o up_o when_o i_o be_o slip_v down_o to_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n and_o my_o wound_n will_v be_v incurable_a if_o thou_o be_v not_o please_v to_o heal_v i_o thou_o lord_n have_v make_v i_o know_v in_o what_o case_n i_o be_o and_o only_o can_v redress_v my_o woeful_a case_n i_o seek_v to_o thou_o and_o to_o thou_o only_o to_o thy_o wisdom_n i_o commend_v my_o head_n illighten_v it_o show_v i_o thy_o way_n thou_o that_o of_o nothing_o
