full_o ver_fw-la 10._o but_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n in_o the_o which_o the_o heaven_n shall_v pass_v away_o with_o a_o great_a noise_n and_o

i_o know_v pain_n and_o extremity_n of_o misery_n make_v many_o man_n long_o for_o it_o but_o that_o alone_o be_v no_o rational_a ground_n while_o that_o holy_a conversation_n and_o godliness_n be_v
