raze_v out_o of_o god_n book_n then_o that_o he_o shall_v lose_v his_o glory_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n therefore_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o affliction_n he_o ought_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o deliver_v he_o but_o for_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v live_v to_o glorify_v he_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o good_a hezekiahs_n request_n when_o god_n send_v he_o word_n by_o
