with_o they_o and_o if_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o and_o especial_o if_o i_o think_v that_o they_o will_v believe_v i_o for_o i_o recommend_v they_o very_o much_o to_o almighty_a god_n and_o i_o wish_v

our_o lord_n will_v seem_v to_o have_v bring_v they_o so_o upon_o we_o as_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o resist_v they_o now_o it_o seem_v that_o his_o divine_a majesty_n be_v please_v to_o

between_o some_o spiritual_a joy_n and_o other_o here_o on_o earth_n which_o yet_o be_v very_o great_a and_o real_o a_o soul_n when_o god_n do_v she_o this_o favour_n at_o first_o be_v very_o apt_a
