the_o promise_v make_v to_o philadelphia_n do_v belong_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o our_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n as_o first_o that_o god_n will_v make_v they_o come_v viz._n those_o who_o

that_o be_v they_o shall_v overcome_v and_o triumph_v over_o these_o sectary_n and_o however_o they_o have_v be_v hitherto_o abuse_v and_o scorn_v by_o they_o neither_o have_v these_o unthankful_a
