o_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o converse_n with_o man_n but_o now_o true_a humility_n come_v from_o converse_n with_o god_n nothing_o have_v that_o excellency_n in_o it_o as_o that_o which_o come_v

than_o he_o i_o but_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o imitate_v a_o humble_a god_n do_v but_o consider_v how_o willing_a christ_n be_v to_o have_v that_o glory_n and_o excellency_n of_o he_o to_o be_v

the_o infinite_a god_n when_o other_o of_o god_n people_n be_v assemble_v to_o pray_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o may_v have_v be_v roar_v under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o those_o

i_o may_v have_v be_v in_o the_o bottomless_a gulf_n i_o may_v have_v be_v curse_v and_o blaspheme_v god_n you_o that_o god_n have_v wrought_v something_o upon_o you_o desire_v to_o fear_v he_o and_o you_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o and_o have_v some_o delight_n to_o worship_v he_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v you_o to_o yourself_o you_o may_v have_v go_v curse_v and_o swear_v and_o blaspheme_v &_o commit_v any_o vileness_n that_o any_o the_o most_o vile_a have_v commit_v it_o may_v god_n have_v enlarge_v your_o heart_n in_o prayer_n i_o but_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v you_o to_o yourself_o instead_o of_o be_v enlarge_v in_o prayer_n you_o may_v have_v be_v curse_v and_o blaspheme_v god_n now_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a mean_n to_o humble_v your_o heart_n beside_o what_o you_o may_v have_v be_v in_o regard_n of_o poverty_n in_o regard_n of_o pain_n and_o sickness_n you_o now_o be_v comfortable_a in_o your_o house_n and_o sit_v with_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o delight_v one_o

any_o such_o thing_n as_o deserve_v punishment_n though_o they_o be_v deliver_v yet_o if_o they_o know_v that_o the_o deliverance_n cost_v abundance_n of_o trouble_n for_o a_o child_n to_o think_v
