and_o this_o much_o concern_v sin_n in_o so_o far_o as_o it_o belong_v to_o this_o place_n for_o david_n lessen_v not_o so_o his_o sin_n as_o if_o in_o a_o part_n only_o it_o touch_v god_n but_o he_o

man_n but_o with_o thou_o o_o god_n i_o have_v to_o do_v although_o all_o without_o difficulty_n shall_v forgive_v i_o the_o offence_n commit_v against_o they_o notwithstanding_o by_o that_o thing_n i_o can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v my_o god_n because_o against_o thou_o against_o thou_o alone_o have_v i_o sin_v and_o except_o thou_o according_a to_o thy_o goodness_n for_o give_v i_o my_o sin_n i_o

there_o be_v a_o perseverance_n in_o all_o those_o sin_n david_n therefore_o now_o at_o last_o say_v that_o he_o have_v do_v all_o those_o evil_n in_o god_n own_o eye_n and_o open_o man_n indeed_o
