the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v grievous_a unto_o i_o to_o be_v torment_v in_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n many_o million_o of_o year_n so_o that_o i_o may_v have_v any_o hope_n of_o

to_o comfort_v he_o and_o can_v hardly_o draw_v he_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n wherein_o though_o at_o length_n he_o assent_v unto_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o do_v with_o
