the_o creature_n have_v their_o be_v in_o god_n according_a to_o his_o eternal_a purpose_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v from_o all_o eternity_n v._n ephes_n 1.4.9_o and_o 11._o v._n quia_fw-la

that_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o let_v the_o house_n of_o juda_n now_o confess_v that_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o also_o let_v we_o all_o confess_v that_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o can_v forget_v to_o be_v merciful_a o_o most_o excellent_a argument_n of_o exceed_a comfort_n he_o can_v forget_v our_o sin_n as_o i_o sheâ—ed_v you_o before_o but_o he_o can_v forget_v to_o be_v merciful_a can_v a_o woman_n forget_v she_o own_o child_n improbus_fw-la ille_fw-la pver_fw-la crudelis_fw-la tu_fw-la quoque_fw-la mater_fw-la egl._n virgil_n in_o
