desirable_a and_o comfortable_a to_o the_o godly_a and_o elect_a see_v then_o their_o full_a deliverance_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v and_o they_o shall_v there_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o

on_o the_o contrary_a the_o faithful_a and_o elect_v shall_v be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v confess_v their_o name_n before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o his_o

unto_o we_o the_o wash_n away_o of_o our_o sin_n through_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o be_v we_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n the_o
