the_o last_o punishment_n but_o rather_o as_o a_o medicine_n who_o see_v not_o that_o all_o this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o great_a mercy_n wherefore_o just_o and_o worthy_o be_v these_o word_n number_v among_o the_o proprietye_n of_o mercy_n and_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o prophet_n be_v oftentimes_o afflict_v together_o with_o the_o people_n for_o ezechiel_n and_o daniel_n
