pity_v they_o pray_v for_o they_o mourn_v before_o god_n for_o they_o pluck_v they_o as_o brand_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n you_o know_v what_o their_o condition_n be_v how_o sad_a and_o deplorable_a

of_o prosperity_n they_o may_v cover_v your_o conscience_n with_o a_o mantle_n of_o security_n and_o give_v you_o a_o bottle_n of_o milk_n but_o if_o once_o you_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o

what_o will_v you_o do_v when_o you_o find_v trouble_v poor_a creature_n my_o soul_n tremble_v for_o you_o o_o that_o you_o will_v consider_v but_o behold_v christ_n say_v to_o you_o and_o there_o

peace_n to_o this_o end_n consider_v 1._o that_o christ_n have_v overcome_v the_o world_n he_o have_v qualify_v the_o mercury_n and_o quickesilver_n of_o it_o and_o make_v that_o which_o be_v in_o

victory_n to_o what_o purpose_n have_v he_o take_v pain_n to_o conquer_v the_o world_n for_o you_o if_o you_o must_v yet_o be_v slave_n to_o it_o and_o every_o cross_n and_o trial_n every_o frown_n and_o ill-look_a from_o the_o world_n must_v bring_v you_o into_o a_o distemperature_n lift_v up_o your_o head_n therefore_o christian_n lest_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o loser_n by_o your_o soul_n be_v of_o good_a cheer_n know_v and_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v indeed_o and_o that_o for_o you_o too_o overcome_v the_o world_n br._n 2_o second_o this_o doctrine_n call_v upon_o you_o that_o be_v believer_n to_o live_v much_o with_o jesus_n christ_n gain_v more_o and_o more_o acquaintance_n with_o he_o with_o his_o word_n with_o his_o spirit_n heighten_v your_o communion_n with_o he_o thus_o shall_v you_o know_v every_o hide_v place_n and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o every_o hole_n of_o the_o rock_n this_o be_v that_o that_o make_v many_o a_o poor_a much_o at_o loss_n ofttimes_o it_o
