the_o text_n of_o providence_n be_v as_o difficult_a as_o the_o text_n of_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v as_o high_a contest_v about_o providence_n as_o about_o predestination_n and_o it_o be_v as_o

the_o lord_n grant_v the_o time_n may_v never_o come_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v liberty_n without_o conscience_n liberty_n and_o nothing_o else_o but_o licentiousness_n and_o atheism_n we_o have_v
