the_o lord_n himself_o will_v come_v to_o dispose_v of_o thing_n then_o it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o a_o german_a divine_a though_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o live_v very_o innocent_o when_o he_o

we_o all_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o the_o menstruous_a cloth_n i_o but_o for_o the_o saint_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v put_v into_o one_o scoale_n and_o their_o

yea_o or_o no_o you_o shall_v have_v they_o however_o he_o be_v content_a to_o venture_v they_o indeed_o when_o god_n come_v unto_o his_o choice_a mercy_n in_o christ_n there_o he_o look_v to_o have_v

thus_o with_o all_o ungodly_a one_o in_o the_o world_n that_o all_o the_o while_o they_o live_v whatsoever_o they_o enjoy_v continue_v wicked_a man_n they_o have_v a_o curse_n of_o god_n that_o go_v

he_o have_v little_a cause_n of_o rejoice_v in_o that_o bargain_n so_o though_o thou_o have_v get_v a_o portion_n that_o may_v seem_v to_o satisfy_v thou_o somewhat_o know_v thou_o have_v lose_v a_o

may_v repeat_v in_o your_o ear_n i_o hear_v such_o a_o day_n there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o have_v their_o portion_n in_o this_o world_n and_o now_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o be_o one_o
