i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o believer_n content_a to_o lie_v under_o the_o impression_n of_o wrath_n much_o less_o content_a to_o be_v damn_v but_o he_o will_v have_v the_o man_n lie_v at_o his_o foot_n under_o cheese_n and_o bear_v witness_n to_o his_o holy_a justice_n when_o under_o outward_a or_o inward_a trouble_n now_o the_o more_o spiritual_a man_n sin_n be_v
