as_o if_o you_o hear_v it_o with_o s._n john_n ear_n immediate_o sound_v from_o heaven_n and_o i_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v etc._n etc._n which_o word_n may_v fit_o be_v term_v the_o

observable_a 1._o the_o inditer_n love_n to_o the_o party_n decease_v in_o register_n their_o happiness_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v expose_v to_o public_a view_n and_o i_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o

the_o godly_a both_o for_o their_o own_o satisfaction_n and_o other_o conviction_n he_o cause_v their_o ptiviledge_n to_o be_v write_v that_o in_o they_o other_o may_v read_v the_o goodness_n and_o

to_o clear_v it_o to_o the_o world_n after_o their_o death_n lest_o possible_o his_o love_n to_o they_o may_v appear_v to_o die_v with_o they_o now_o this_o praise_n which_o he_o take_v such_o a_o
