i_o a_o saint_n by_o faith_n can_v argue_v thus_o whatever_o may_v seem_v best_a at_o present_a to_o a_o carnal_a eye_n yet_o i_o know_v when_o christ_n shall_v appear_v that_o be_v the_o righteous_a

of_o christ_n have_v eternity_n with_o it_o and_o this_o be_v my_o portion_n thus_o have_v a_o saint_n by_o faith_n relief_n from_o the_o worst_a of_o the_o world_n wait_v for_o the_o appearance_n of_o christ_n a_o three_o observation_n love_n make_v the_o soul_n quicksighted_n the_o soul_n that_o love_v christ_n see_v by_o faith_n his_o appearance_n though_o afar_o off_o and_o rejoice_v in_o
