defend_v they_o against_o the_o force_n of_o man_n &_o christ_n to_o fight_v for_o they_o against_o the_o rage_n of_o satan_n let_v 1_o we_o therefore_o learn_v to_o give_v all_o diligence_n that_o

this_o be_v the_o great_a work_n of_o the_o world_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v certain_a of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n when_o we_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o can_v certain_o yield_v unto_o they_o then_o be_v we_o like_v sick_a man_n which_o have_v good_a physic_n but_o can_v be_v persuade_v to_o take_v it_o because_o they_o think_v it_o will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a so_o we_o think_v these_o promise_v uncertain_a and_o some_o they_o have_v help_v but_o some_o they_o fail_v but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o promise_n never_o fail_v if_o the_o man_n be_v not_o unfaithful_a for_o as_o man_n will_v not_o plant_v corrupt_a imp_n and_o grafte_n so_o god_n will_v not_o make_v unsteadfast_a promise_n but_o as_o the_o ground_n do_v many_o time_n alter_v a_o good_a plant_n that_o it_o grow_v not_o so_o man_n do_v choke_v the_o promise_n that_o they_o help_v not_o therefore_o if_o god_n bid_v thou_o not_o fear_v than_o cast_v away_o fear_n if_o he_o bid_v thou_o not_o weep_v then_o cease_v from_o tear_n as_o when_o he_o bid_v thou_o not_o kill_v thou_o refraine_v from_o murder_n the_o assurance_n of_o the_o lord_n favour_n must_v grow_v by_o a_o continual_a practice_n of_o
