answer_v the_o expectation_n of_o such_o a_o infinite_a be_v in_o confer_v any_o special_a favour_n on_o we_o by_o conform_v our_o life_n unto_o his_o holy_a commandment_n it_o be_v a_o damnable_a

there_o be_v too_o much_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v not_o so_o much_o magnify_v by_o all_o the_o time_n many_o allow_v unto_o their_o public_a devotion_n as_o dishonour_v by_o their_o

how_o provoke_v must_v it_o be_v to_o sin_n thus_o against_o the_o mercy_n of_o heaven_n what_o can_v we_o confident_o depend_v upon_o either_o for_o eternal_a or_o temporal_a salvation_n but_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o equal_a merit_n of_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n but_o a_o course_n of_o life_n unanswerable_a to_o those_o deliverance_n god_n have_v be_v

notwithstanding_o all_o that_o have_v be_v do_v for_o we_o we_o be_v miserable_a for_o he_o will_v repent_v at_o last_o even_o of_o his_o own_o kindness_n to_o such_o a_o ungrateful_a people_n and_o what_o revenge_n more_o hot_a than_o that_o of_o abuse_a love_n because_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n who_o god_n by_o a_o mighty_a hand_n and_o a_o stretoh'dout_n arm_v bring_v up_o from_o the_o
