do_v so_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v to_o the_o happiness_n of_o this_o church_n and_o nation_n and_o the_o better_n of_o these_o evil_a day_n but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n which_o he_o be_v

to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o not_o the_o imagination_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n many_o cross_a petition_n be_v put_v up_o to_o heaven_n because_o man_n make_v their_o opinion_n and_o wish_n
