that_o we_o can_v pluck_v up_o when_o we_o will_v god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o comfort_n only_o he_o give_v it_o when_o he_o please_v and_o he_o take_v it_o away_o again_o as_o he_o please_v christ_n have_v a_o angel_n to_o comfort_v he_o in_o his_o agony_n so_o that_o all_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v to_o take_v gospel-consolation_n as_o mercy_n from_o heaven_n not_o as_o the_o work_n
