may_v be_v further_o conceit_v and_o the_o treachery_n prove_v more_o notorious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o general_a thus_o poor_a vriah_n go_v as_o a_o sheep_n to_o the_o slaughter_n and_o carry_v

yea_o till_o we_o stink_n in_o the_o grave_n but_o it_o must_v be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o can_v only_o awaken_v we_o it_o must_v be_v only_o his_o mercy_n to_o raise_v we_o up_o again_o

that_o so_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n mercy_n may_v prevent_v extremity_n of_o despair_n now_o the_o conscience_n be_v thorough_o awaken_v by_o his_o ordinance_n and_o so_o may_v also_o lead_v on_o

in_o the_o branch_n thereof_o hereby_o he_o may_v renew_v and_o perfect_v his_o repentance_n thus_o rough_o do_v the_o wise_a lord_n begin_v with_o his_o servant_n and_o yet_o merciful_o too_o
