i_o have_v be_v distress_v as_o i_o now_o be_o and_o three_o time_n at_o the_o least_o have_v have_v repair_n vouchsafe_v i_o by_o god_n in_o such_o a_o extraordinary_a mode_n that_o many_o do_v

time_n that_o which_o many_o do_v suppose_v will_v i_o ere_o now_o have_v ruin_v on_o my_o foe_n have_v cast_v a_o bridle_n and_o will_v keep_v i_o from_o what_o they_o intend_v until_o my_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o peradventure_o then_o restrain_v they_o too_o from_o act_v all_o that_o they_o intend_v to_o do_v that_o which_o both_o my_o estate_n and_o reputation_n shall_v have_v destroy_v be_v

if_o by_o their_o trade_n and_o rent_n they_o to_o their_o brood_n may_v leave_v great_a portion_n if_o they_o may_v at_o court_n find_v favour_n and_o if_o blessing_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v multiply_v upon_o they_o they_o suppose_v god_n be_v their_o friend_n and_o foe_n unto_o their_o foe_n indeed_o these_o blessing_n be_v but_o sign_n to_o i_o of_o god_n especial_a grace_n these_o
