thy_o wing_n will_v i_o make_v my_o refuge_n until_o these_o calamity_n be_v overpast_a what_o st._n hierom_n observe_v long_o since_o concern_v this_o book_n of_o psalm_n titulos_fw-la esse_fw-la

that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o scripture_n be_v like_o a_o great_a house_n in_o which_o be_v several_a apartment_n and_o therein_o many_o room_n shut_v up_o and_o in_o they_o again_o many_o

on_o every_o side_n and_o little_a hope_n leave_v he_o of_o escape_v with_o his_o life_n it_o be_v then_o that_o he_o sigh_v out_o his_o al-taschith_a as_o this_o and_o the_o two_o follow_a psalm_n
