before_o for_o before_o their_o whole_a time_n be_v spend_v in_o whore_v drink_v and_o swear_v fit_a soldier_n for_o this_o choose_v but_o now_o great_a part_n of_o their_o time_n be_v spend_v in_o

to_o trouble_v they_o like_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o psalm_n flee_v when_o no_o man_n pursue_v they_o by_o which_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n what_o a_o scarecrow_n a_o bad_a cause_n and_o a_o bad_a

for_o the_o best_a thing_n say_v a_o heathen_a be_v overcome_v by_o the_o great_a difficulty_n for_o they_o be_v exceed_o good_a thing_n we_o expect_v therefore_o i_o can_v expect_v but_o the_o lord_n

they_o will_v spend_v every_o drop_n of_o blood_n in_o their_o vein_n and_o they_o make_v no_o question_n but_o one_o of_o they_o be_v able_a to_o encounter_v with_o half_a a_o dozen_o roundhead_n if_o they_o have_v some_o there_o to_o try_v their_o courage_n once_o for_o they_o fear_v not_o if_o all_o the_o world_n come_v against_o they_o and_o many_o the_o like_a expression_n so_o that_o one_o will_v have_v think_v if_o the_o great_a twelve_o army_n be_v there_o they_o will_v have_v conquer_v they_o all_o but_o in_o the_o interim_n while_o they_o be_v thus_o courageous_o march_v every_o one_o look_v like_o a_o son_n of_o goliath_n there_o come_v unexpected_a novu_fw-mi that_o there_o be_v trooper_n make_v towards_o they_o but_o now_o see_v the_o 〈◊〉_d courage_n of_o these_o before_o brave_a cavalier_n for_o they_o hear_v this_o news_n the_o major_a part_n be_v in_o such_o haste_n to_o be_v go_v that_o they_o never_o stay_v to_o examine_v the_o truth_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v for_o they_o or_o against_o they_o but_o run_v as_o hard_o as_o their_o heel_n can_v carry_v they_o out_o of_o the_o field_n leave_v field_n and_o courage_n all_o at_o once_o the_o rest_n be_v encourage_v by_o the_o two_o lord_n to_o stand_v and_o see_v the_o event_n stay_v but_o with_o such_o courage_n that_o each_o of_o they_o be_v like_a to_o fall_v down_o in_o the_o place_n where_o
