wisdom_n true_o nothing_o but_o destruction_n of_o all_o the_o whole_a realm_n and_o also_o of_o all_o they_o which_o take_v their_o part_n therefore_o good_a king_n see_v that_o the_o right_a david_n that_o be_v to_o say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v send_v his_o servant_n that_o be_v to_o say_v true_a preacher_n and_o his_o own_o word_n also_o to_o comfort_v our_o weak_a and_o sick_a soul_n
