to_o say_v a_o christian_a soul_n be_v best_a instruct_v when_o it_o be_v most_o scourge_v and_o 1._o afflict_a for_o as_o joseph_n entertain_v his_o brethren_n rough_o before_o he_o be_v please_v

this_o blessing_n fall_v let_v he_o suspect_v he_o be_v yet_o in_o 4._o his_o nonage_n and_o uncapable_a of_o the_o same_o he_o must_v therefore_o prolong_v his_o patience_n and_o eke_o out_o his_o
