what_o he_o be_v destitute_a of_o but_o what_o he_o possess_v and_o so_o put_v sorrow_n to_o flight_n he_o will_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n second_o put_v case_n god_n have_v not_o bestow_v upon_o thou_o any_o of_o the_o abovementioned_a benefit_n but_o lade_v thou_o with_o the_o repugnant_a evil_n yet_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o have_v confer_v upon_o thou_o no_o less_o
