honour_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o ever_o we_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o he_o that_o deny_v i_o before_o man_n say_v christ_n himself_n he_o will_v i_o deny_v before_o my_o father_n that_o

and_o anger_n together_o with_o those_o intermediate_v passion_n of_o desire_n joy_n indignation_n and_o the_o like_a that_o partake_v of_o both_o the_o first_o and_o great_a ingredient_n of_o zeal_n

and_o enjoy_v it_o and_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o love_n will_v the_o desire_n increase_v and_o improve_v into_o long_n and_o impatience_n again_o zeal_n be_v accompany_v with_o joy_n
