to_o prove_v 16_o they_o that_o he_o may_v do_v they_o good_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n god_n meaning_n be_v after_o a_o hard_a beginning_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o comfortable_a end_n when_o they_o be_v first_o humble_v and_o prove_v and_o very_o meet_v it_o be_v that_o god_n servant_n shall_v be_v humble_v and_o it_o be_v right_a in_o god_n to_o prove_v his_o servant_n whether_o they_o

therefore_o humble_a thyself_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v exalt_v thou_o in_o due_a time_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o thou_o shall_v be_v prove_v that_o thou_o may_v see_v

this_o danger_n thou_o say_v be_v thou_o infidelity_n and_o thy_o infidelity_n and_o want_n of_o faith_n thou_o proove_v by_o the_o quality_n of_o thy_o temptation_n which_o thou_o take_v to_o be_v

to_o thy_o like_n yet_o thou_o want_v not_o faith_n in_o christ_n even_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n than_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o fear_n indeed_o this_o temptation_n argue_v a_o infidelity_n root_n of_o infidelity_n to_o remain_v in_o thou_o for_o see_v the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o tree_n and_o in_o bear_v they_o have_v take_v they_o away_o
