first_o they_o be_v dumb_a and_o open_v not_o their_o mouth_n to_o give_v thanks_n to_o god_n for_o any_o thing_n and_o if_o god_n knock_v on_o these_o vessel_n with_o the_o finger_n of_o his_o

with_o any_o plague_n or_o trouble_n yet_o they_o murmur_v not_o at_o any_o thing_n they_o open_v not_o their_o mouth_n whatsoever_o they_o suffer_v but_o they_o rejoice_v in_o tribulation_n that_o

19.27_o matth._n 19.27_o there_o be_v no_o room_n in_o their_o heart_n for_o worldly_a vanity_n and_o they_o deem_v they_o but_o as_o dung_n and_o dross_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o four_o
