for_o the_o world_n be_v against_o they_o and_o they_o against_o the_o world_n and_o as_o for_o these_o thing_n wherein_o do_v consist_v their_o chief_a content_n if_o we_o shall_v believe_v they_o they_o complain_v they_o want_v much_o and_o have_v very_o little_a as_o the_o prophet_n david_n where_o he_o say_v as_o the_o hart_n pant_v for_o the_o river_n of_o water_n so_o pant_v my_o soul_n

to_o be_v their_o steward_n and_o provider_n and_o the_o godly_a soul_n which_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o god_n mercy_n find_v unspeakable_a content_n therein_o and_o thirst_v to_o
