happy_a time_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o though_o every_o one_o have_v not_o eagle_n eye_n yet_o he_o may_v see_v a_o glorious_a light_n rise_v and_o shine_a though_o through_o some_o cloud_n i_o

shall_v be_v confound_v at_o the_o last_o by_o the_o force_n of_o his_o arm_n and_o now_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n where_o we_o shall_v first_o declare_v the_o mean_n how_o we_o may_v

in_o this_o dangerous_a wilderness_n must_v in_o some_o measure_n cleanse_v the_o heart_n of_o its_o native_a corruption_n and_o of_o its_o contract_a foulness_n for_o as_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n
