thy_o sin_n past_a and_o the_o facility_n thou_o have_v use_v in_o commit_v of_o they_o do_v not_o make_v thou_o afraid_a why_o do_v thou_o not_o fear_v at_o the_o least_o the_o majesty_n and_o

and_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o so_o great_a a_o majesty_n consider_v the_o wonderful_a and_o most_o terrible_a severity_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o what_o horrible_a punishment_n he_o have_v

be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a the_o patriarch_n jacob_n say_v unto_o laban_n his_o father_n in_o law_n these_o fourteen_o year_n have_v i_o serve_v thou_o and_o look_v to_o thy_o affair_n now_o it_o

brief_o and_o most_o to_o the_o purpose_n be_v speak_v in_o this_o matter_n be_v this_o that_o like_o as_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o good_a be_v a_o universal_a good_a thing_n even_o so_o the_o
