christ_n have_v give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o thy_o soul_n he_o have_v satisfy_v divine_a vengeance_n for_o thy_o sin_n many_o man_n give_v their_o life_n to_o death_n for_o their_o prince_n but_o here_o be_v a_o prince_n that_o give_v his_o life_n for_o his_o people_n it_o remain_v that_o we_o speak_v a_o little_a concerning_o this_o our_o decease_a brother_n i_o may_v speak_v much_o concerning_o those_o ravish_a comfort_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o soul_n what_o a_o rare_a assurance_n he_o have_v of_o heaven_n as_o a_o pattern_n most_o worthy_a of_o your_o imitation_n he_o
