be_v a_o prevent_a mercy_n to_o be_v prevent_v with_o the_o blessing_n of_o good_a be_v the_o great_a kind_n of_o mercy_n deliverance_n from_o evil_n be_v good_a but_o to_o be_v deliver_v so_o as_o

be_v mercy_n in_o this_o mercy_n we_o know_v not_o a_o mystery_n in_o other_o we_o have_v this_o be_v not_o like_a peace_n the_o joyful_a daughter_n of_o a_o sorrowful_a mother_n this_o be_v not_o
