           It
           is
           Gods
           wrath
           upon

           severe
           rod

           that
           it
           may
           not
           be
           a
           fruitless
           rod

           that
           when
           by
           this
           rod
           I
           have
           laid

           I
           am
           very
           confident
           by
           what
           I
           have
           heard

             very
             sorry

             heavenly
             an

             We
             have
             known

             I
             wish

             yet

             upon
             them
             then
             you
             have
             ,
             if
             we
             consider
             things
             well

             I
             only
             wish

             under
             that
             name

             their
             Dissipline

             The
             Religion
             which
             I
             profess
             ,
             is
             that

               Protestant
