suffice_v to_o cause_v we_o to_o consider_v god_n power_n which_o mighty_o and_o marvellous_o have_v ever_o show_v itself_o in_o his_o creature_n 6_o in_o the_o five_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v the_o

of_o this_o believe_v the_o text_n which_o tell_v we_o what_o fall_v out_o when_o god_n see_v it_o will_v be_v no_o better_o 6._o it_o repent_v he_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v make_v man_n that_o be_v
