gold_n of_o ophire_n god_n know_v what_o be_v best_a for_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v with_o patience_n what_o he_o in_o his_o divine_a wisdom_n see_v meet_v to_o suffer_v to_o come_v upon_o we_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o patience_n that_o our_o faith_n may_v be_v more_o precious_a than_o the_o gold_n which_o perish_v let_v we_o be_v

worst_a of_o man_n even_o the_o rebellious_a and_o ungodly_a that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o god_n in_o which_o say_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n jesus_n god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o while_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o be_v not_o this_o love_n indeed_o do_v not_o the_o rich_a love_n of_o god_n appear_v towards_o we_o herein_o and_o if_o he_o
