we_o to_o sin_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o confirm_v our_o purpose_n to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n the_o reward_n of_o obedience_n must_v be_v of_o infallible_a assurance_n that_o

the_o most_o cruel_a contrive_n and_o powerful_a malice_n of_o wicked_a man_n can_v inflict_v be_v so_o much_o less_o than_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v that_o avoid_v the_o one_o and_o venture_n on_o
