moses_n have_v come_v and_o try_v it_o out_o hand_n to_o hand_n body_n to_o body_n with_o god_n and_o turn_v he_o back_o again_o that_o he_o can_v not_o destroy_v they_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 106._o psalm_n v._n 23._o so_o he_o say_v he_o will_v destroy_v they_o have_v not_o moses_n his_o choose_a stand_v in_o the_o gap_n and_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n drive_v it_o back_o again_o and_o one_o innocent_a man_n may_v deliver_v a_o whole_a island_n a_o whole_a island_n as_o big_a as_o england_n may_v 30._o be_v deliver_v by_o one_o man_n and_o the_o lord_n himself_o profess_v in_o the_o five_o of_o jeremiah_n when_o he_o come_v down_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o destroy_v they_o run_v say_v he_o through_o the_o 5._o land_n and_o find_v i_o one_o man_n there_o he_o describe_v he_o

the_o 22._o of_o ezekiel_n towards_o the_o latter_a end_n when_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o wonder_v that_o the_o people_n be_v so_o set_v on_o ruin_n i_o seek_v for_o a_o man_n that_o may_v

it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v application_n a_o encouragement_n to_o every_o one_o who_o have_v a_o good_a heart_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o safety_n of_o
