the_o state_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n so_o when_o the_o prophet_n complain_v often_o of_o god_n long-suffering_a towards_o the_o wicked_a he_o show_v it_o to_o be_v a_o offence_n to_o the_o child_n

reas_n be_v not_o out_o of_o natural_a principle_n and_o reason_n incident_a to_o humanity_n but_o from_o a_o supernatural_a dedition_n and_o yield_v of_o themselves_o to_o the_o transcendent_a will_n
