like_o a_o wheel_n o_o my_o god_n make_v they_o like_o a_o wheel_n say_v david_n 13_o a_o wheel_n tilt_v up_o behind_o and_o shoot_v down_o before_o so_o the_o wicked_a be_v forward_o to_o all_o

no_o less_o on_o each_o fore_a foot_n so_o the_o godly_a though_o they_o be_v weak_a to_o the_o worldward_n yet_o they_o be_v strong_a to_o godward_o and_o set_v the_o better_a foot_n before_o as_o

and_o also_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n may_v abide_v with_o us._n for_o god_n among_o other_o argument_n of_o his_o mercy_n say_v thus_o 16_o who_o have_v give_v wing_n to_o the_o ostridg_n the_o ostridg_n never_o fly_v with_o his_o wing_n but_o only_o a_o little_a lift_v up_o his_o body_n with_o they_o when_o he_o run_v and_o in_o y_z e_z pinion_n of_o each_o wing_n he_o have_v a_o sharp_a

that_o we_o may_v thereby_o learn_v how_o we_o ought_v by_o all_o good_a mean_n to_o quicken_v our_o dull_a disposition_n that_o we_o may_v follow_v hard_a even_o as_o we_o see_v the_o ostrich_n egg_v

this_o be_v see_v in_o the_o conversion_n of_o paul_n for_o when_o paul_n be_v make_v a_o apostle_n they_o a_o stone_n be_v make_v brass_n he_o be_v as_o hard_o as_o any_o stone_n before_o his_o
