prophet_n that_o seem_v not_o right_a for_o it_o seem_v to_o man_n reason_n just_a that_o god_n shall_v advance_v &_o prosper_v his_o friend_n and_o faithful_a servant_n and_o not_o such_o as_z

in_o the_o most_o clear_a light_n of_o wisdom_n it_o shall_v appear_v that_o now_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o godly_a have_v how_o certain_a &_o inevitable_a and_o most_o effectual_a god_n will_v be_v

that_o he_o take_v god_n suffringe_v for_o god_n ordinance_n though_o god_n work_v sundry_a way_n some_o time_n by_o himself_o and_o some_o time_n by_o his_o creature_n good_a &_o bad_a he_o go_v
