thus_o with_o all_o ungodly_a one_o in_o the_o world_n that_o all_o the_o while_o they_o live_v whatsoever_o they_o enjoy_v continue_v wicked_a man_n they_o have_v a_o curse_n of_o god_n that_o go_v

consider_v what_o portion_n thou_o lose_v thou_o have_v get_v one_o but_o thou_o lose_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v at_o the_o exchange_n and_o make_v a_o bargain_n about_o

he_o have_v little_a cause_n of_o rejoice_v in_o that_o bargain_n so_o though_o thou_o have_v get_v a_o portion_n that_o may_v seem_v to_o satisfy_v thou_o somewhat_o know_v thou_o have_v lose_v a_o

you_o all_o i_o will_v only_o give_v you_o a_o hint_n or_o two_o that_o you_o know_v somewhat_o what_o it_o be_v 1._o it_o be_v such_o a_o portion_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o spouse_n of_o the_o

what_o the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n be_v able_a to_o do_v to_o raise_v a_o poor_a creature_n to_o the_o height_n of_o happiness_n what_o think_v you_o this_o must_v be_v that_o i_o say_v it_o

such_o a_o portion_n and_o guess_v you_o what_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v yea_o it_o be_v such_o a_o portion_n as_o must_v require_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n to_o support_v a_o creature_n to_o bear_v the_o weight_n of_o that_o glory_n and_o all_o this_o must_v be_v now_o to_o all_o eternity_n i_o remember_v when_o esau_n do_v but_o hear_v isaac_n his_o father_n tell_v what_o a_o
