time_n not_o evil_a in_o themselves_o but_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o wicked_a they_o be_v evil_a for_o it_o be_v a_o abominable_a thing_n to_o god_n that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v

way_n of_o the_o wicked_a this_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n because_o the_o just_a god_n abhor_v unrighteousness_n as_o a_o most_o foul_a and_o filthy_a thing_n from_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o so_o many_o plague_n fall_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o sinner_n and_o that_o as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v the_o way_n of_o the_o wicked_a do_v perish_v 1._o psal_n
