for_o else_o the_o godly_a shall_v be_v drive_v to_o desperation_n we_o see_v how_o many_o be_v cast_v down_o with_o adversity_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o good_n wife_n child_n &_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v dear_a unto_o they_o except_o therefore_o their_o mind_n be_v raise_v up_o again_o and_o comfort_v first_o with_o the_o word_n and_o promise_n and_o then_o with_o the_o performance_n and_o execution_n of_o the_o same_o many_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n therefore_o god_n must_v needs_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o god_n not_o only_o in_o a_o word_n but_o also_o in_o

according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n the_o tentation_n shall_v not_o be_v above_o our_o strength_n but_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n and_o we_o learn_v by_o our_o own_o experience_n that_o the_o first_o commandment_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n be_v most_o certain_a and_o infailable_a therefore_o when_o he_o say_v lest_o the_o just_a shall_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o fall_n
