god_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o by_o his_o word_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v serve_v and_o worship_v of_o all_o mankind_n i_o say_v let_v they_o do_v it_o if_o they_o can_v but_o in_o despite_n of_o

always_o get_v the_o victory_n as_o well_o for_o they_o as_o for_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o tempt_v god_n but_o let_v we_o trust_v whole_o in_o he_o his_o mercy_n power_n and_o
