their_o confidence_n in_o no_o creature_n that_o be_v dead_a unto_o the_o world_n and_o leave_v and_o whole_o put_v their_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n upon_o such_o poor_a shall_v the_o

may_v read_v in_o the_o 40_o psal_n and_o such_o poor_a be_v not_o proud_a in_o the_o ymagination_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n they_o contemn_v no_o man_n they_o despise_v no_o man_n but_o be_v
