of_o such_o as_o do_v offend_v so_o it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o 110._o psalm_n the_o lord_n shall_v send_v forth_o the_o rod_n of_o thy_o power_n out_o of_o zion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v thy_o

for_o else_o the_o godly_a shall_v be_v drive_v to_o desperation_n we_o see_v how_o many_o be_v cast_v down_o with_o adversity_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o good_n wife_n child_n &_o other_o thing_n

according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n the_o tentation_n shall_v not_o be_v above_o our_o strength_n but_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n and_o we_o learn_v by_o our_o own_o experience_n that_o the_o first_o commandment_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n be_v most_o certain_a and_o infailable_a therefore_o when_o he_o say_v lest_o the_o just_a shall_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o fall_n
