for_o the_o last_o step_n we_o must_v come_v too_o the_o experience_n that_o we_o have_v in_o these_o day_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n be_v shed_v still_o at_o this_o day_n &_o god_n can_v

whereas_o they_o be_v raven_a wolf_n he_o can_v make_v they_o as_o sheep_n and_o lamb_n sure_o he_o can_v do_v so_o but_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o ordain_v satan_n too_o drive_v they_o and_o

too_o understand_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v preserve_v forâ—_n ever_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v always_o remain_v some_o seed_n of_o it_o in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o the_o record_n of_o

strengthen_v in_o such_o hope_n by_o it_o as_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o merciful_a toward_o we_o ever_o after_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v too_o he_o that_o be_v able_a too_o do_v all_o thing_n exceed_v abundant_o above_o our_o ask_n or_o think_v now_o we_o see_v here_o how_o s._n paul_n warn_v we_o that_o if_o god_n have_v use_v great_a

must_v we_o be_v afraid_a that_o his_o fountain_n will_v dry_v when_o he_o shall_v have_v bestow_v great_a benefit_n upon_o we_o already_o why_o so_o for_o he_o have_v such_o store_n of_o they_o that_o the_o more_o we_o take_v to_o our_o contentation_n the_o great_a abundance_n have_v he_o still_o we_o see_v then_o the_o mean_v too_o dispose_v ourselves_o too_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a

by_o example_n now_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o such_o wise_n even_o too_o the_o last_o gasp_n of_o our_o life_n as_o we_o may_v have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o neighbour_n also_o

that_o he_o commend_v tychicus_n after_o that_o manner_n but_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v know_v christ_n faithful_a minister_n too_o their_o own_o benefit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v have_v

common_o take_v in_o saint_n paul_n for_o all_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n in_o deed_n it_o signify_v proper_o concord_n but_o the_o apostle_n be_v accustom_v too_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n have_v use_v the_o word_n that_o import_v both_o and_o when_o saint_n paul_n say_v grace_n and_o peace_n be_v give_v unto_o you_o by_o the_o first_o he_o wish_v god_n favour_n and_o mercy_n and_o by_o the_o
