a_o kind_n of_o restorative_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o psa_n 79.8_o where_o david_n speak_v as_o if_o he_o be_v in_o a_o consumption_n make_v haste_n and_o prevent_v we_o with_o thy_o tender_a

therefore_o cry_v s._n austin_n domine_fw-la jesu_fw-la sint_fw-la castae_fw-la delitiae_fw-la mea_fw-la scripturae_fw-la tuus_fw-la and_o david_n eloquia_fw-la etc._n etc._n thy_o word_n be_v sweet_a

we_o have_v the_o pure_a marrow_n the_o manna_n and_o meaning_n of_o it_o so_o that_o at_o every_o sermon_n we_o have_v lautas_fw-la epulas_fw-la plenty_n and_o change_n of_o dish_n thus_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o meat_n at_o this_o feast_n nor_o must_v you_o think_v that_o drink_n be_v want_v for_o they_o have_v which_o i_o name_v before_o water_n of_o tear_n which_o let_v none_o despise_v for_o upon_o such_o eye_n as_o stand_v brimful_a of_o repentant_a tear_n christ_n work_v a_o miracle_n &_o turn_v their_o sorrow_n into_o the_o wine_n of_o gladness_n and_o heavenly_a consolation_n they_o have_v second_o david_n cup_n of_o god_n salvation_n which_o overflow_v for_o as_o the_o viol_n of_o his_o wrath_n run_v out_o for_o fierceness_n so_o the_o cup_n of_o his_o salvation_n run_v over_o for_o fullness_n again_o they_o have_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o spouse_n say_v be_v better_a than_o wine_n cant_n 1.1_o and_o last_o of_o all_o david_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v make_v such_o to_o drink_v out_o of_o the_o river_n of_o his_o pleasure_n psalm_n 36.8_o if_o you_o demand_v what_o sauce_n the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v at_o this_o feast_n of_o a_o good_a

tartness_n no_o sharpness_n no_o bitterness_n in_o these_o affliction_n no_o not_o in_o death_n itself_o for_o as_o god_n sweet_o dispose_v and_o pleasant_o compound_v the_o rest_n so_o christ_n
