of_o the_o text_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n this_o word_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v all_o one_o in_o effect_n with_o that_o which_o be_v translate_v mercy_n in_o the_o 130._o psalm_n and_o

our_o misery_n and_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o debt_n and_o trespass_n so_o now_o we_o in_o token_n of_o thankfulness_n to_o he_o again_o shall_v yearn_v and_o grieve_v within_o ourselves_o to_o see_v his_o name_n dishonour_v and_o second_o whereas_o god_n have_v bestow_v his_o grace_n so_o frank_o and_o gladsomelie_o to_o save_v we_o so_o now_o we_o be_v save_v by_o his_o grace_n it_o shall_v be_v our_o joy_n to_o serve_v he_o for_o it_o in_o all_o obedience_n and_o in_o every_o good_a duty_n and_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o this_o grace_n have_v appear_v or_o as_o
