A58733	The Second part of The pilgrims progress from this present world of wickedness and misery to an eternity of holiness and felicity : exactly described under the similitude of a dream, relating the manner and occasion of his setting out from, and difficult and dangerous journey through the world, and safe arrival at last to eternal happiness.

begin_v to_o speak_v and_o of_o who_o i_o have_v take_v no_o notice_n till_o now_o they_o be_v not_o too_o great_a for_o almighty_a power_n to_o conquer_v nor_o yet_o too_o many_o for_o divine_a

his_o mercy_n be_v great_a for_o they_o be_v infinite_a your_o sin_n be_v many_o and_o increase_v to_o a_o great_a number_n but_o his_o mercy_n be_v more_o for_o they_o be_v numberless_a the_o cry_n of_o thy_o sin_n be_v reach_v up_o to_o heaven_n but_o his_o mercy_n be_v above_o the_o heaven_n now_o therefore_o take_v courage_n and_o adventure_n to_o cast_v thyself_o at_o his_o foot_n and_o
