which_o he_o know_v without_o our_o communicate_v they_o certain_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v our_o good_a counsellor_n who_o counsel_v we_o without_o flattery_n who_o rule_v we_o without_o

of_o our_o sorrow_n in_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o god_n make_v our_o complaint_n to_o he_o pour_v out_o our_o tear_n &_o discover_v our_o affliction_n unto_o he_o with_o

as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v any_o will_n to_o crave_v it_o for_o he_o require_v not_o any_o prayer_n of_o we_o because_o he_o have_v need_n of_o our_o service_n but_o because_o we_o have_v need_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o justice_n it_o can_v be_v give_v to_o those_o which_o shall_v not_o deign_v to_o crave_v it_o as_o the_o sun_n draw_v up_o vapour_n from_o the_o

because_o we_o shall_v much_o better_o know_v he_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o know_v in_o part_n 12._o now_o we_o see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n obscure_o but_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v face_n

which_o we_o see_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o it_o enter_v even_o into_o our_o eye_n now_o god_n who_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o light_n will_v make_v our_o soul_n to_o see_v he_o in_o heaven_n in_o this_o latter_a fashion_n for_o he_o dwell_v in_o his_o saint_n and_o be_v in_o they_o all_o in_o all_o but_o in_o this_o life_n he_o cause_v himself_o to_o be_v see_v by_o image_n that_o be_v by_o
