most_o dear_a son_n serve_v the_o lord_n with_o fear_n and_o rejoice_v before_o he_o with_o tremble_a lay_v hold_v upon_o his_o righteousness_n lest_o you_o perish_v from_o the_o right_a way_n taste_v

in_o his_o den_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n god_n have_v forget_v he_o have_v turn_v away_o his_o face_n and_o will_v never_o see_v but_o when_o the_o lord_n through_o patience_n do_v use_v more_o

when_o he_o do_v hasty_o punish_v for_o god_n do_v sometime_o suffer_v the_o good_a to_o be_v vex_v of_o the_o evil_a and_o of_o the_o proud_a so_o that_o they_o make_v long_a furrow_n upon_o their_o

the_o helper_n of_o the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o protector_n of_o the_o poor_a he_o resist_v the_o proud_a and_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a he_o break_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o sinner_n and_o

of_o our_o saviour_n who_o be_v gentle_a and_o humble_a in_o heart_n abase_v himself_o for_o we_o become_v obedient_a even_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o which_o cause_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o will_v be_v humble_a be_v obedient_a to_o every_o humane_a power_n for_o god_n cause_n he_o be_v not_o obedient_a but_o negligent_a who_o expect_v to_o be_v bid_v the_o

true_a obedience_n always_o wish_v in_o nothing_o to_o follow_v a_o man_n own_o will_n but_o the_o will_n of_o another_o for_o christ_n leave_v this_o for_o a_o example_n unto_o we_o in_o his_o last_o

never_o make_v any_o covenant_n with_o sin_n let_v a_o man_n be_v love_v so_o as_o that_o his_o vice_n may_v be_v hate_v it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n of_o love_n to_o reprove_v a_o man_n in_o all_o
