so_o that_o when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o those_o misery_n which_o our_o sin_n have_v bring_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o

in_o case_n they_o do_v not_o answer_v so_o reasonable_a a_o expectation_n if_o they_o offer_v he_o fresh_a affront_n or_o repeat_v their_o old_a one_o they_o will_v find_v the_o truce_n break_v by_o
