that_o david_n say_v how_o sweet_a be_v thy_o word_n to_o my_o threat_n yea_o more_o than_o honey_n to_o my_o mouth_n because_o when_o this_o spirit_n do_v place_n in_o the_o will_n of_o man_n a_o

to_o every_o body_n to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o love_v and_o this_o be_v so_o full_a of_o truth_n as_o that_o if_o the_o very_a law_n of_o god_n can_v be_v lose_v it_o will_v be_v find_v write_v

yet_o will_v this_o just_a man_n do_v that_o which_o he_o do_v for_o the_o pure_a love_n of_o god_n for_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o a_o man_n towards_o god_n that_o which_o nature_n
