this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o which_o he_o promise_v they_o christ_n be_v please_v oftentimes_o to_o cast_v his_o servant_n into_o very_o sad_a and_o comfortless_a condition_n and_o to_o

therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o when_o at_o any_o time_n we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v so_o nor_o yet_o absolute_o expect_v the_o contrary_a as_o be_v more_o than_o christ_n ever_o
