help_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o comfort_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o many_o dutiful_a child_n who_o have_v be_v very_o serviceable_a to_o their_o mother_n but_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o a_o mother_n

this_o that_o they_o who_o have_v see_v so_o much_o of_o god_n may_v be_v teach_v in_o any_o trial_n more_o willing_o to_o submit_v to_o god_n he_o that_o raise_v so_o great_a comfort_n to_o they_o out_o of_o such_o a_o affliction_n they_o may_v now_o stay_v upon_o that_o he_o will_v give_v a_o abundant_a supply_n to_o they_o whatever_o comfort_n he_o shall_v take_v from_o they_o he_o do_v

i_o conceive_v therefore_o god_n have_v own_v they_o that_o as_o their_o affliction_n have_v abound_v 4._o so_o their_o comfort_n much_o more_o god_n have_v make_v they_o eminent_a in_o respect_n of_o his_o wonderful_a work_n for_o they_o as_o they_o be_v before_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o afflicting_n of_o they_o and_o i_o hope_v that_o when_o they_o lie_v their_o affliction_n and_o consolation_n in_o the_o balance_n they_o will_v experience_n that_o afflict_a godliness_n be_v better_a than_o successful_a wickedness_n and_o that_o if_o the_o sauce_n have_v not_o be_v so_o tart_a their_o
