Doe ye judge uprightly, o ye sonnes of men? The second, upon Psalm 37. verse 37. Marke the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace? / By Mich.

you_o the_o quomodo_n how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v which_o appear_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o question_n do_v you_o indeed_o speak_v righteousness_n do_v you_o judge_v upright_o i_o shall_v

upon_o the_o great_a officer_n and_o counselor_n of_o state_n let_v i_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o bring_v it_o a_o little_a low_o as_o it_o may_v be_v a_o fault_n in_o a_o witness_n to_o depose_v
