of_o satan_n wile_n to_o beat_v we_o off_o from_o be_v confident_a of_o god_n favour_n when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o weak_a state_n to_o resist_v he_o with_o much_o confidence_n she_o return_v i_o answer_v in_o that_o comfortable_a expression_n of_o s._n paul_n rom._n 8._o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o neither_o death_n nor_o life_n nor_o angel_n 8.38.39_o rom._n 8.38.39_o nor_o principality_n nor_o power_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v nor_o height_n nor_o depth_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v i_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n

be_v real_a not_o in_o pretence_n she_o be_v none_o of_o those_o talk_a lady_n who_o religion_n appear_v only_o in_o the_o tongue_n but_o she_o be_v more_o for_o good_a work_n than_o word_n much_o like_a unto_o that_o worthy_a woman_n the_o mother_n of_o s._n greg_n nazianzen_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o have_v she_o a_o ocean_n of_o wealth_n she_o will_v have_v empty_v it_o all_o into_o
