from_o among_o his_o people_n because_o of_o my_o many_o sin_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o desire_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v and_o now_o i_o forsake_v my_o sin_n who_o

the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v then_o my_o heart_n fear_v because_o many_o and_o great_a be_v my_o
