former_a feel_n of_o god_n favour_n again_o by_o prayer_n so_o ought_v we_o not_o only_o to_o rest_v and_o rely_v on_o god_n by_o faith_n simile_n but_o labour_v to_o recover_v ourselves_o to_o our_o former_a feel_n of_o god_n favour_n again_o as_o when_o tree_n be_v dead_a at_o the_o top_n we_o lay_v fresh_a mould_n to_o the_o root_n to_o make_v they_o revive_v again_o so_o we_o shall_v labour_v

of_o god_n we_o have_v already_o speak_v of_o now_o we_o be_v come_v to_o speak_v what_o he_o suffer_v of_o man_n man_n for_o such_o be_v the_o desert_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o deserve_v to_o suffer_v of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o of_o every_o power_n that_o be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o suffer_v therefore_o christ_n stand_v in_o our_o place_n and_o room_n be_v our_o surety_n and_o pledge_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o he_o shall_v not_o suffer_v only_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n but_o of_o man_n also_o as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v his_o disciple_n matth._n 17._o 22._o the_o son_n of_o man_n

of_o god_n but_o of_o man_n also_o and_o as_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n that_o you_o shall_v follow_v his_o step_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 21._o therefore_o christ_n example_n
