wherein_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n he_o bid_v they_o to_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o this_o that_o though_o the_o affliction_n shall_v rest_v upon_o they_o for_o a_o

the_o vision_n touch_v their_o deliverance_n second_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o general_a that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a &_o willing_a to_o fulfil_v they_o even_o as_o he_o make_v they_o but_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v with_o application_n to_o

those_o year_n now_o what_o do_v daniel_n in_o this_o case_n upon_o knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o that_o point_n during_o the_o say_a time_n he_o pray_v not_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o
