notwithstanding_o in_o that_o very_a age_n wherein_o the_o gospel_n wrought_v thus_o effectual_o among_o they_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o that_o nation_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o

bring_v a_o great_a evil_n upon_o they_o than_o upon_o any_o other_o nation_n because_o no_o other_o nation_n have_v enjoy_v the_o like_a mean_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o sin_n or_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o in_o the_o 22._o of_o isaiah_n the_o valley_n of_o vision_n have_v the_o great_a burden_n of_o wrath_n of_o all_o other_o that_o be_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o who_o god_n have_v send_v all_o his_o prophet_n from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o sin_n against_o light_n and_o covenant_n mercy_n and_o conscience_n shall_v be_v
