such_o be_v god_n mercy_n towards_o they_o that_o he_o call_v back_o his_o anger_n my_o brethren_n god_n have_v a_o high_a esteem_n of_o his_o worship_n in_o a_o nation_n though_o it_o shall_v be_v

many_o true_a worshipper_n of_o he_o yea_o those_o that_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o work_n we_o have_v much_o cause_n to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v show_v mercy_n to_o we_o and_o that_o if_o anger_n be_v come_v out_o against_o we_o yet_o god_n will_v call_v it_o back_o thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o god_n people_n be_v god_n people_n though_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o great_a trouble_n we_o can_v be_v secure_v from_o trouble_n yet_o still_o there_o be_v mercy_n for_o they_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v his_o people_n so_o long_o as_o the_o knot_n be_v between_o god_n and_o they_o and_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n there_o be_v mercy_n for_o they_o but_o now_o when_o they_o be_v cast_v off_o now_o there_o come_v a_o and_o i_o will_v do_v thus_o and_o thus_o bring_v they_o into_o these_o extremity_n and_o i_o will_v show_v no_o mercy_n to_o they_o there_o shall_v be_v judgement_n without_o mercy_n the_o observation_n then_o from_o hence_o be_v

concern_v the_o outward_a man_n except_o god_n will_v come_v in_o with_o his_o own_o institution_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a
