a_o far_o more_o excellent_a eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o rest_v satisfy_v with_o a_o face_n of_o profession_n but_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o make_v inquiry_n into_o

see_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n many_o time_n be_v please_v to_o strip_v his_o own_o people_n naked_a of_o creature_n comfort_n it_o be_v that_o so_o the_o lord_n may_v discover_v to_o his_o people_n the_o emptiness_n the_o flittingnes_n of_o thè_z that_o so_o they_o may_v see_v more_o fullness_n yea_o even_o all_o fullness_n in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o though_o the_o world_n misconstrue_v god_n meaning_n to_o his_o saint_n in_o his_o carriage_n towards_o they_o in_o the_o passage_n of_o his_o providence_n in_o say_v they_o be_v poor_a and_o mean_a and_o the_o
