that_o by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o he_o shall_v prevail_v and_o so_o desperate_a and_o venturous_a that_o he_o will_v return_v to_o his_o house_n again_o nothing_o shall_v cross_v and_o hinder_v

to_o perserve_v thy_o child_n and_o to_o save_v they_o from_o his_o malice_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o always_o in_o thy_o fear_n see_v then_o satan_n be_v so_o watchful_a and_o diligent_a to_o do_v
