sometime_o the_o tribulation_n be_v so_o great_a that_o no_o humane_a comfort_n can_v assuage_v it_o but_o god_n be_v a_o most_o wise_a and_o omnipotent_a physician_n he_o can_v cure_v any_o disease_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o comfort_v 3_o we_o in_o all_o our_o tribulation_n 2._o second_o god_n be_v call_v god_n of_o all_o consolation_n because_o he_o know_v how_o to_o
