and_o will_v spare_v he_o though_o he_o be_v a_o prodigal_a yet_o his_o father_n will_v pass_v by_o all_o so_o i_o pray_v to_o a_o father_n do_v i_o pray_v to_o a_o judge_n that_o will_v condemn_v i_o

be_v the_o great_a encouragement_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o go_v to_o god_n that_o notwithstanding_o so_o many_o fail_n and_o though_o he_o be_v so_o dead_a and_o so_o barren_a yet_o a_o father_n bear_v all_o the_o lord_n interpret_v all_o though_o but_o break_v speech_n yet_o god_n accept_v and_o regard_v all_o we_o have_v a_o father_n to_o go_v to_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o pass_v by_o many_o fail_n 2._o as_o we_o have_v a_o ground_n of_o pity_n if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sigh_n he_o receive_v it_o so_o this_o may_v persuade_v we_o of_o the_o willingness_n of_o god_n to_o help_v we_o if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o go_v to_o he_o that_o be_v hard_o heart_a little_a hope_n have_v he_o to_o speed_v we_o say_v he_o be_v a_o cruel_a man_n we_o have_v as_o good_a pull_v water_n out_o of_o a_o flint_n etc._n etc._n a_o child_n will_v not_o beg_v of_o a_o stranger_n but_o go_v to_o his_o father_n so_o we_o pray_v to_o our_o father_n that_o be_v more_o willing_a to_o hear_v and_o grant_v than_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v i_o will_v go_v to_o my_o father_n say_v the_o prodigal_a as_o who_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o unworthy_a yet_o i_o go_v to_o a_o father_n nay_o the_o lord_n hear_v before_o
