that_o the_o lord_n be_v righteous_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o holy_a in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o difficulty_n as_o to_o puzzle_v the_o reason_n of_o

2._o these_o calamity_n of_o good_a man_n be_v consistant_fw-la with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n providence_n because_o by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o that_o providence_n they_o receive_v
