dreadful_a of_o all_o what_o can_v be_v a_o great_a token_n of_o god_n divine_a wrath_n it_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o that_o future_a vengeance_n that_o shall_v be_v pour_v forth_o upon_o they_o to_o

that_o be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a salvation_n which_o god_n wrought_v comparative_o for_o israel_n at_o the_o red_a sea_n but_o what_o a_o salvation_n be_v that_o who_o be_v they_o save_v

5._o that_o be_v a_o temporal_a salvation_n this_o be_v a_o eternal_a salvation_n now_o that_o salvation_n at_o the_o red_a sea_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a temporal_a salvation_n that_o ever_o

god_n have_v wrought_v for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o forefather_n it_o be_v a_o great_a salvation_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o 1588._o at_o the_o spanish_a invasion_n and_o from_o the_o powder-plot_n
