reason_n and_o sensuality_n out_o of_o which_o we_o his_o child_n can_v not_o extricate_v ourselves_o how_o then_o o_o lord_n can_v thou_o expecte_v of_o i_o that_o be_o bear_v lame_a and_o crooked_a

i_o still_o cry_v unto_o thou_o as_o i_o do_v in_o the_o begin_v of_o this_o my_o penitential_a psalm_n have_v mercy_n on_o i_o o_o god_n according_a to_o thy_o great_a mercy_n 2._o or_o say_v this_o
