aught_o to_o be_v for_o a_o lamentation_n that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o part_n between_o david_n and_o 〈◊〉_d who_o love_v one_o another_o as_o their_o own_o soul_n this_o cut_v they_o unto_o their_o

a_o love_a congregation_n have_v you_o be_v unto_o i_o i_o know_v none_o of_o you_o have_v desire_v my_o destruction_n nor_o to_o taint_v my_o name_n never_o do_v i_o hear_v three_o in_o this_o

must_v love_v their_o people_n do_v not_o blame_v they_o if_o their_o heart_n be_v almost_o break_v when_o they_o be_v to_o part_v with_o such_o a_o people_n 2._o must_v the_o pastor_n love_v his_o

their_o heart_n i_o hope_v there_o will_v never_o be_v a_o separation_n of_o love_n but_o that_o will_v still_o continue_v if_o we_o do_v not_o see_v one_o another_o yet_o we_o may_v love_v one_o

have_v hear_v of_o let_v i_o have_v their_o tithe_n and_o let_v their_o soul_n go_v to_o the_o devil_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n i_o seek_v not_o you_o but_o you_o 2_o cor._n 12._o 14._o and_o i_o

in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n i_o can_v subscribe_v perhaps_o it_o be_v because_o i_o have_v not_o that_o light_n as_o other_o have_v for_o he_o that_o doubt_v say_v the_o apostle_n be_v damn_v my_o

as_o david_n say_v and_o oh_o that_o i_o can_v speak_v it_o with_o as_o good_a hope_n as_o david_n zadok_v carry_v back_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n if_o i_o shall_v find_v favour_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o will_v bring_v i_o again_o and_o show_v i_o both_o it_o and_o his_o habitation_n but_o if_o he_o thus_o say_v i_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o thou_o behold_v here_o be_o i_o let_v

they_o let_v we_o make_v what_o use_n we_o can_v of_o they_o before_o they_o be_v take_v away_o from_o we_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o they_o make_v no_o
