to_o the_o north_n shall_v be_v burn_v therein_o these_o word_n be_v a_o true_a comment_n upon_o our_o time_n and_o our_o time_n be_v a_o sad_a comment_n upon_o these_o word_n in_o the_o word_n we_o have_v a_o sad_a judgement_n threaten_v and_o in_o our_o time_n we_o have_v see_v a_o sore_a judgement_n of_o fire_n inflict_v if_o therefore_o i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o these_o word_n to_o

to_o apply_v lenitive_n and_o corrosive_n and_o to_o administer_v cordial_n and_o bitter_a potion_n it_o must_v be_v a_o sun-shiny_a day_n indeed_o that_o be_v without_o any_o cloud_n and_o it_o

alas_o promise_n do_v not_o work_v upon_o they_o threaten_n do_v not_o at_o all_o prevail_v with_o they_o and_o god_n patience_n and_o forbearance_n do_v not_o at_o all_o engage_v they_o to_o
