of_o his_o all_o wise_a and_o just_a providence_n which_o stand_v clear_a and_o orient_a when_o shame_n now_o be_v cover_v their_o face_n the_o second_o point_n in_o the_o text_n be_v the_o jew_n deliverance_n from_o their_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n when_o the_o lord_n bring_v back_o the_o captivity_n of_o zion_n which_o expression_n impli_v two_o thing_n 1._o the_o lose_n of_o their_o

the_o lord_n suffer_v nation_n and_o kingdom_n to_o observe_v 1_o be_v under_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n for_o a_o long_a time_n yet_o he_o can_v put_v a_o end_n to_o their_o captivity_n when_o he_o
