idol_n nor_o false_a god_n to_o ourselves_o lest_o we_o have_v this_o return_n to_o our_o prayer_n when_o we_o cry_v to_o god_n in_o the_o needful_a time_n of_o trouble_n and_o we_o be_v to_o make_v

upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o before_o he_o shut_v up_o his_o mercy_n in_o displeasure_n and_o stop_v his_o ear_n at_o our_o cry_n let_v we_o put_v to_o our_o help_a hand_n to_o keep_v off_o
