2_o second_o if_o god_n depart_v from_o they_o for_o a_o time_n in_o displeasure_n through_o their_o fall_n into_o some_o sin_n and_o then_o leave_v a_o sense_n of_o his_o displeasure_n in_o their_o soul_n than_o their_o soul_n find_v such_o a_o want_n of_o he_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o sustain_v themselves_o without_o a_o present_a possession_n in_o this_o case_n godless_a man_n be_v sore_o afflict_v will_v mourn_v for_o their_o want_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o the_o godly_a but_o alas_o for_o all_o this_o with_o the_o most_o of_o we_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o we_o can_v

and_o the_o great_a loss_n we_o have_v sustain_v but_o we_o seldom_o or_o never_o make_v any_o moan_n that_o we_o have_v lose_v god_n favour_n because_o we_o want_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o
