o_o theo_n my_o friend_n never_o no_o never_o must_v we_o permit_v our_o mind_n to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o a_o blast_a whirlwind_n or_o think_v to_o find_v a_o better_a reason_n of_o god_n will_n

he_o shall_v manifest_v his_o motive_n but_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o he_o say_v simple_o and_o for_o reason_n that_o if_o we_o ought_v charitable_o to_o bear_v so_o much_o respect_n to_o the_o

4._o so_o in_o a_o thousand_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a word_n we_o find_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n reprove_v the_o jew_n because_o say_v s._n paul_n and_o s._n barnaby_n you_o do_v reject_v the_o
