that_o these_o be_v punishment_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o our_o man_n have_v learn_v out_o of_o this_o renew_a doctrine_n that_o both_o private_a misery_n and_o affliction_n and_o also_o

of_o speech_n that_o calamity_n be_v wont_v to_o shadow_v out_o after_o a_o sort_n unto_o we_o how_o great_a it_o be_v see_v therefore_o as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o what_o ill_o soever_o do_v
