just_o now_o express_v it_o as_o for_o the_o cause_n there_o be_v so_o many_o ground_n of_o our_o confidence_n as_o there_o be_v perfection_n in_o god_n his_o goodness_n be_v so_o great_a that_o he_o

thereby_o the_o same_o hope_n in_o he_o that_o good_a man_n have_v ever_o have_v why_o do_v we_o not_o rejoice_v in_o god_n then_o as_o well_o as_o they_o what_o comfort_n will_v you_o have_v that_o be_v not_o here_o to_o be_v find_v be_v good_a hope_n in_o the_o immortal_a only_o wise_a god_n nothing_o worth_a or_o can_v they_o give_v but_o a_o feeble_a support_n to_o those_o that_o be_v owner_n of_o they_o if_o they_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n you_o see_v plain_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n for_o they_o and_o great_a than_o for_o many_o other_o thing_n they_o be_v secure_v so_o many_o way_n that_o it_o be_v manifest_a god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o want_v the_o comfort_n of_o they_o the_o power_n of_o god_n for_o example_n sake_n may_v make_v you_o fear_v he_o and_o there_o be_v great_a
