so_o that_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o psalm_n from_o the_o begin_n thereof_o to_o the_o end_n of_o my_o text_n be_v but_o one_o sentence_n or_o axiom_n wherein_o there_o be_v relation_n of_o

we_o not_o doubt_v of_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o other_o promise_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o most_o difficult_a of_o all_o either_o for_o god_n to_o grant_v or_o for_o we_o to_o believe_v
