leave_v i_o not_o to_o my_o oppressor_n the_o prophet_n go_v on_o pray_v for_o the_o increase_n and_o continuance_n of_o god_n favour_n use_v two_o argument_n the_o first_o by_o show_v his_o

with_o what_o affection_n he_o long_v for_o help_v trust_v that_o god_n will_v now_o come_v to_o do_v right_a his_o prayer_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v overcome_v
