           We
           have
           had
           amongst

           And
           this
           should
           have

           For
           certainly
           it
           is
           
             through
             the
             Lords
             wrath

             that
             the
             people

             a
             Land

             no
             man
             sparing

             brother

           But
           his
           anger
           is
           not
           turned
           away
           ,
           his

           is
           stretched
           out
           still

           were
           well

           I
           feare
           we
           should
           heare
           a

           the

           To

           amongst
           us
           now
           for
           above
           an
           hundred
           yeares

           for
           the
           possession
           of
           his
           Oracles
           ,
           the
           Ministry
           of
           his
           Word
           ,
           the
           Seales
           of

           forth
           before
           us
           continually
           ;
           which
           things
           the
           Angels
           look
           into

           which
           Kings
           ,
           and
           Prophets

           This
           is
           so
           great
           a
