though_o mistake_v in_o the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o he_o and_o sure_o a_o heart_n so_o compose_v as_o job_n be_v under_o all_o these_o pressure_n will_v have_v shape_v out_o such_o a_o answer_n as_o this_o my_o dear_a wife_n i_o thank_v thou_o for_o thy_o care_n and_o counsel_n thou_o have_v a_o holy_a jealousy_n over_o i_o that_o i_o be_o not_o in_o such_o a_o posture_n of_o spirit_n as_o
