may_v live_v in_o his_o sight_n thus_o the_o poor_a creature_n go_v make_v supplication_n believe_o and_o prevail_v the_o devil_n now_o lay_v all_o the_o block_n he_o can_v possible_o in_o the_o soul_n way_n to_o hinder_v its_o journey_n to_o christ_n as_o when_o the_o woman_n talk_v to_o her_o husband_n of_o go_v to_o the_o prophet_n for_o the_o enliven_a of_o her_o dead_a child_n he_o

i_o will_v pay_v thou_o thy_o wage_n in_o blackness_n of_o darkness_n for_o ever_o if_o thou_o have_v intend_v for_o life_n thou_o shall_v have_v mind_v it_o soon_o thou_o have_v day_n without_o

for_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v thou_o he_o tell_v thou_o as_o much_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n prov._n 1.25_o to_o 32._o therefore_o thou_o may_v spare_v thy_o pain_n and_o prayer_n for_o all_o

who_o thou_o have_v persecute_v in_o his_o people_n reject_v in_o his_o law_n prefer_v the_o world_n and_o thy_o flesh_n before_o he_o and_o dare_v he_o to_o his_o very_a face_n thus_o he_o that_o be_v the_o sinner_n tempter_n to_o those_o sin_n turn_v his_o tormentor_n for_o they_o and_o he_o that_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v post_v to_o hell_n bid_v it_o not_o doubt_v of_o heaven_n do_v now_o

will_v go_v to_o the_o great_a prophet_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o life_n of_o his_o dead_a soul_n he_o think_v it_o be_v true_a i_o be_o a_o grievous_a sinner_n but_o i_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o gracious_a saviour_n i_o see_v nothing_o but_o misery_n and_o hell_n in_o i_o but_o i_o see_v mercy_n and_o heaven_n in_o he_o for_o my_o warrant_n 11.28_o mat._n 11.28_o i_o have_v

he_o that_o come_v unto_o i_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a cast_v out_o i_o will_v therefore_o go_v what_o ever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o lay_v myself_o at_o his_o foot_n if_o he_o condemn_v i_o and_o
