shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v god_n righteousness_n in_o the_o terrible_a thing_n of_o london_n will_v be_v evident_a especial_o if_o we_o consider_v 1._o that_o god_n have_v punish_v london_n no_o

upon_o they_o sure_o they_o have_v not_o more_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o god_n anger_n be_v turn_v away_o since_o the_o fire_n than_o they_o have_v to_o think_v it_o be_v turn_v away_o after_o
