the_o wise_a man_n wise_a from_o elsewhere_o than_o from_o flesh_n and_o blood_n inspire_v true_o from_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n who_o teach_v we_o here_o as_o his_o child_n and_o see_v that_o he_o

whether_o in_o chastisement_n or_o in_o trial_n &_o always_o find_v in_o thou_o too_o much_o matter_n of_o chastisement_n tell_v he_o with_o david_n 23.4_o david_n psal_n 23.4_o thy_o rod_n and_o

therefore_o the_o wise_a man_n call_v it_o discipline_n not_o punishment_n discipline_n because_o by_o these_o affliction_n he_o keep_v thou_o to_o school_v he_o conform_v thy_o motion_n thy_o
