all_o his_o presence_n of_o mind_n be_v lose_v if_o god_n do_v not_o reassure_v he_o and_o his_o thought_n be_v so_o disorder_v and_o perplex_v that_o he_o know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v

circumstance_n of_o our_o day_n a_o double_a advantage_n by_o our_o interest_n in_o god_n care_n and_o wise_a conduct_n for_o the_o experience_n of_o it_o represent_v to_o we_o those_o blessing_n we_o enjoy_v not_o only_o as_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n and_o testimony_n of_o his_o favour_n but_o as_o gift_n which_o infinite_a wisdom_n think_v meet_v to_o bestow_v on_o we_o and_o will_v teach_v
