and_o mercy_n second_o god_n be_v slight_v and_o contemn_v in_o this_o when_o thou_o choose_v rather_o to_o make_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v thy_o god_n than_o the_o infinite_a bless_a first-being_a of_o all_o thing_n as_o a_o man_n that_o do_v despise_v his_o wife_n and_o it_o be_v abominable_a sin_n if_o he_o shall_v choose_v to_o go_v to_o a_o queen_n though_o the_o most_o beautiful_a woman_n
