that_o create_v the_o wind_n not_o your_o witch_n anos_n 4.13_o and_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o lay_v the_o beam_n of_o his_o chamber_n in_o the_o water_n who_o make_v the_o cloud_n his_o chariot_n who_o walk_v upon_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o wind_n psalm_n 104.3_o and_o the_o lord_n command_v and_o raise_v up_o the_o stormy_a wind_n which_o lift_v up_o the_o wave_n thereof_o and_o not_o your_o

they_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o their_o trouble_n and_o he_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o their_o distress_n he_o make_v the_o storm_n a_o calm_a so_o that_o the_o wave_n thereof_o be_v still_o then_o be_v they_o glad_a because_o they_o be_v quiet_a so_o he_o bring_v they_o unto_o their_o desire_a heaven_n o_o that_o man_n will_v praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n and_o for_o his_o

again_o and_o not_o the_o witch_n or_o ill-tongued_n people_n and_o that_o bring_v man_n to_o their_o desire_a haven_n both_o outward_a and_o inward_a and_o again_o david_n say_v he_o to_o wit_n the_o

now_o mark_v all_o you_o seaman_n when_o you_o have_v wind_n that_o make_v a_o storm_n in_o the_o sea_n the_o lord_n have_v bring_v it_o out_o of_o his_o treasure_n but_o the_o disobedient_a and_o
