they_o when_o we_o beat_v ordinary_a spice_n we_o heed_v not_o so_o much_o every_o dust_n but_o some_o fly_v out_o and_o fall_v on_o the_o ground_n but_o if_o bezar-stone_n or_o some_o special_a

for_o all_o his_o mercy_n from_o they_o again_o but_o these_o soule-mercy_n of_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v their_o inheritance_n for_o ever_o hence_o god_n call_v his_o church_n a_o eternal_a

give_v common_a mercy_n to_o common_a spirit_n but_o he_o reserve_v his_o choice_a mercy_n for_o choice_a spirit_n with_o the_o pure_a thou_o will_v show_v thyself_o pure_a say_v david_n in_o the_o

the_o world_n can_v afford_v they_o must_v be_v the_o good_a thing_n of_o another_o world_n that_o can_v fill_v they_o and_o those_o be_v reserve_v for_o they_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n

for_o those_o who_o be_v the_o belove_a of_o the_o lord_n three_o these_o reserve_a mercy_n be_v such_o as_o must_v set_v out_o god_n magnanimity_n 3_o that_o god_n may_v show_v to_o angel_n and_o
