take_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n a_o saviour_n a_o redeemer_n a_o love_a sin-pardoning_a jesus_n what_o better_a word_n can_v come_v from_o man_n what_o better_a melody_n can_v be_v hear_v son_n of_o man_n say_v god_n to_o the_o prophet_n lo_o thou_o be_v to_o they_o as_o a_o very_a lovely_a song_n 33.32_o or_o as_o a_o song_n of_o love_n of_o one_o that_o have_v a_o pleasant_a voice_n and_o can_v play_v well_o on_o a_o instrument_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o most_o melodious_a note_n and_o sweet_a tune_n to_o any_o that_o be_v not_o prepossess_v with_o slander_n reproach_n and_o enmity_n against_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o now_o its_o melodious_a note_n be_v so_o sweet_a no_o marvel_n if_o it_o entangle_v some_o even_o of_o they_o that_o yet_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n to_o take_v up_o and_o profess_v so_o lovely_a a_o profession_n but_o 2._o there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o be_v and_o have_v be_v frighten_v with_o the_o law_n and_o terrify_v with_o fear_n of_o perish_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o yet_o have_v not_o grace_v to_o leave_v they_o now_o when_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v reach_v such_o man_n ear_n because_o there_o be_v by_o that_o make_v public_a the_o willingness_n of_o christ_n to_o die_v for_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n to_o forgive_v they_o for_o his_o sake_n therefore_o they_o present_o receive_v and_o profess_v those_o notion_n as_o the_o only_a one_o that_o can_v rid_v they_o from_o their_o fright_n and_o terror_n false_o rest_v themselves_o content_a with_o that_o faith_n thereof_o which_o stand_v in_o
