of_o thy_o justice_n to_o mark_v the_o iniquity_n which_o we_o by_o our_o natural_a corruption_n daily_a fall_n into_o and_o punish_v we_o according_o o_o good_a lord_n who_o none_o not_o the_o most_o

be_v find_v mercy_n towards_o penitent_a sinner_n and_o with_o he_o by_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_a forgiveness_n for_o a_o few_o sin_n but_o plenteous_a redemption_n from_o the_o captivity_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o sin_n 8_o and_o he_o even_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o merit_n and_o intercession_n shall_v redeem_v and_o save_v israel_n and_o each_o of_o his_o faithful_a servant_n from_o
