remember_v that_o god_n do_v sometime_o permit_v satan_n to_o buffet_v we_o as_o he_o do_v paul_n that_o he_o may_v try_v our_o patience_n and_o obedience_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o watchful_a of_o ourselves_o against_o that_o roar_a lion_n which_o compass_v the_o earth_n to_o and_o fro_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o earnest_a in_o prayer_n that_o we_o may_v adhere_v the_o close_a to_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v acknowledge_v his_o fatherly_a care_n and_o goodness_n who_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o measure_n comfort_v ourselves_o in_o this_o that_o his_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o 5._o we_o must_v remember_v that_o god_n have_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v over_o we_o to_o hold_v we_o up_o in_o

that_o the_o same_o angel_n will_v be_v ready_a at_o our_o death_n to_o convey_v our_o soul_n as_o they_o do_v lazarus_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n 6._o let_v we_o support_v ourselves_o against_o satan_n by_o the_o assurance_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o bless_a be_v the_o man_n who_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v afraid_a for_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o be_v god_n that_o justify_v who_o can_v condemn_v if_o satan_n object_n against_o we_o that_o sin_n have_v

of_o too_o much_o sadness_n and_o melancholy_n for_o though_o this_o be_v a_o natural_a infirmity_n yet_o satan_n by_o it_o take_v occasion_n to_o work_v mischief_n as_o we_o see_v in_o saul_n who_o
