gather_v strength_n unto_o himself_o by_o this_o mean_n three_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o effectual_a because_o it_o be_v exceed_o forcible_a against_o sin_n for_o when_o sorrow_n come_v

to_o expel_v sin_n which_o may_v hinder_v we_o from_o prevail_a with_o he_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o of_o all_o remedy_n in_o time_n of_o distress_n this_o be_v the_o best_a and_o sure_a use_v 1_o this_o serve_v for_o instruction_n unto_o we_o to_o use_v all_o mean_n and_o furtherance_n whereby_o we_o may_v attain_v unto_o this_o there_o be_v many_o affliction_n abroad_o many_o near_a

as_o be_v his_o do_v when_o jonah_n threaten_v destruction_n against_o their_o city_n within_o forty_o day_n they_o abase_v themselves_o and_o fall_v to_o mourning_n and_o use_v fast_v to_o help_v

that_o which_o be_v the_o very_a bane_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n in_o truth_n those_o that_o carry_v with_o they_o a_o heart_n full_a of_o pride_n and_o lust_n and_o such_o iniquity_n as_o god_n
