for_o the_o elect_v sake_n those_o day_n shall_v be_v shorten_v second_o this_o judgement_n be_v delay_v that_o the_o stubborn_a and_o ungodly_a may_v be_v thereby_o without_o excuse_n for_o they_o have_v warning_n enough_o exhortation_n &_o threaten_n at_o all_o time_n what_o their_o sin_n deserve_v and_o what_o they_o be_v to_o look_v for_o so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o

the_o prophet_n say_v they_o come_v in_o no_o misfortune_n like_o other_o man_n neither_o be_v they_o plague_v according_a to_o their_o desert_n but_o the_o latter_a day_n the_o day_n of_o doom_n

feel_n and_o knowledge_n of_o this_o judgement_n day_n see_v that_o by_o nature_n it_o be_v engraft_v into_o our_o heart_n and_o secret_a knowledge_n but_o rather_o let_v in_o have_v that_o effect_n
