that_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o send_v christ_n to_o save_v we_o from_o wrath_n to_o come_v by_o his_o own_o sharp_a suffering_n i_o can_v no_o way_n see_v but_o that_o thy_o case_n be_v full_a as_o

that_o when_o thou_o have_v even_o destroy_v thyself_o god_n shall_v make_v haste_n to_o thy_o help_n that_o he_o shall_v send_v his_o own_o son_n to_o undertake_v for_o thou_o who_o be_v also_o

whether_o there_o can_v be_v give_v any_o just_a or_o tolerable_a excuse_n for_o thy_o disobedience_n if_o the_o bitter_a enemy_n thou_o have_v in_o the_o world_n shall_v but_o save_v thy_o life_n when_o it_o be_v in_o his_o hand_n much_o more_o if_o he_o shall_v endanger_v himself_o or_o undergo_v any_o loss_n for_o thy_o safety_n i_o be_o confident_a this_o will_v soon_o take_v off_o thy_o

another_o argument_n draw_v also_o from_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n show_v in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o hereby_o it_o be_v most_o clear_o discover_v that_o there_o be_v some_o unspeakable_a
