comfort_n will_v it_o be_v to_o you_o though_o you_o have_v but_o little_a strength_n to_o go_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n the_o lord_n have_v promise_v it_o psal_n 84._o they_o shall_v go_v

and_o they_o shall_v refresh_v your_o soul_n christ_n will_v be_v drop_v his_o comfort_n and_o grace_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o comfort_n you_o shall_v go_v from_o strength_n to_o

that_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v manifest_a in_o the_o death_n of_o your_o corruption_n in_o your_o conquest_n that_o when_o you_o have_v cry_v out_o o_o wretched_a man_n or_o woman_n o_o how_o unfit_a to_o wait_v on_o christ_n o_o how_o dark_a and_o dead_a be_o i_o yet_o have_v not_o you_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n find_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n make_v manifest_a that_o
