a_o hundred_o fold_n in_o this_o time_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v life_n everlasting_a forsake_v and_o self-denial_n have_v always_o be_v the_o way_n to_o life_n and_o to_o true_a

even_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o unto_o that_o rest_n which_o will_v satisfy_v thy_o soul_n therefore_o lay_v aside_o all_o consultation_n that_o be_v against_o thy_o obedience_n to_o the_o gift_n of_o
