whereas_o some_o particul●ar_a instruction_n pertinent_a to_o their_o distress_a case_n &_o ready_a at_o hand_n may_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v useful_a especial_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o temptation_n 4._o this_o require_v the_o more_o public_a consideration_n because_o such_o distress_a soul_n under_o grievous_a temptation_n and_o suggestion_n be_v more_o numerous_a than_o
