shortness_n of_o our_o patience_n alas_o it_o be_v very_o short_a the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v exhort_v they_o to_o hold_v out_o against_o persecution_n to_o hold_v fast_o their_o

why_o it_o be_v true_a say_v the_o apostle_n but_o you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n that_o when_o you_o have_v do_v his_o will_n you_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n the_o promise_n of_o his_o

therefore_o you_o find_v so_o many_o sad_a complaint_n in_o the_o psalmist_n how_o long_a lord_n etc._n etc._n how_o long_o will_v thou_o forget_v i_o for_o ever_o etc._n etc._n and_o so_o the_o
