by_o evil_a diet_n so_o enemy_n be_v a_o occasion_n unto_o we_o of_o circumspection_n in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n 8.28_o rom._n 8.28_o for_o we_o know_v say_v the_o apostle_n that_o all_o

not_o possible_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v at_o jar_n with_o our_o neighbour_n and_o therefore_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o shall_v move_v we_o to_o forgive_v and_o

therefore_o we_o be_v vanquish_v of_o they_o because_o we_o have_v little_a care_n of_o this_o peace_n among_o ourselves_o this_o inestimable_a treasure_n christ_n leave_v with_o his_o true_a member_n 14.27_o joh._n 14.27_o my_o peace_n i_o give_v unto_o you_o my_o peace_n i_o leave_v with_o you_o not_o as_o the_o world_n give_v give_v i_o unto_o you_o this_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o
