in_o the_o one_o and_o in_o the_o other_o we_o must_v be_v whole_o subject_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o that_o will_v of_o god_n as_o i_o say_v be_v very_o wise_a in_o every_o thing_n and_o

blindness_n be_v so_o great_a that_o we_o value_v not_o that_o which_o bring_v we_o profit_n unless_o it_o be_v sweet_a to_o our_o taste_n we_o let_v our_o passion_n judge_n and_o not_o our_o reason_n and_o therefore_o we_o think_v there_o be_v no_o good_a in_o a_o bitter_a cup_n and_o no_o danger_n in_o a_o pleasant_a draught_n we_o lament_v and_o mourn_v when_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v

will_v lead_v i_o to_o another_o consideration_n concern_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o all_o that_o he_o do_v ask_v thyself_o therefore_o do_v not_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n for_o our_o good_a
