all_o the_o light_n of_o sanctity_n that_o be_v in_o they_o from_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n therefore_o see_v i_o have_v raise_v this_o work_n to_o this_o height_n i_o will_v not_o fear_v to_o show_v that_o as_o noah_n ark_n be_v a_o manifest_a symbol_n of_o the_o church_n before_o and_o since_o the_o law_n upon_o the_o troublesome_a water_n of_o persecution_n and_o affliction_n so_o this_o ark_n likewise_o may_v be_v a_o figure_n of_o christ_n church_n in_o the_o haven_n of_o prosperity_n and_o peace_n since_o the_o gospel_n for_o first_o as_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v put_v into_o the_o ark_n for_o a_o memorial_n of_o god_n covenant_n between_o he_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n so_o the_o law_n or_o gospel_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v preserve_v in_o his_o

this_o day_n which_o i_o compare_v to_o the_o starry_a firmament_n for_o as_o poor_a way_n fare_v man_n receive_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n and_o direction_n in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o

of_o any_o one_o saint_n in_o virtue_n have_v set_v this_o day_n apart_o to_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o follow_v one_o noah_n in_o the_o race_n of_o righteousness_n than_o a_o whole_a world_n drown_v in_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o that_o for_o our_o soul_n salvation_n it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v like_o one_o just_a lot_n than_o a_o city_n full_a of_o wicked_a
