ishmael_n also_o shall_v have_v a_o certain_a blessing_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v transitory_a and_o fleet_a and_o the_o principal_n shall_v remain_v to_o jacob_n but_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v show_v himself_o faithful_a and_o true_a in_o his_o promise_n the_o which_o belong_v to_o this_o temporal_a life_n if_o god_n will_v that_o his_o truth_n and_o

it_o be_v when_o the_o promise_n be_v of_o far_o great_a importance_n as_o when_o he_o call_v we_o to_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n think_v we_o they_o that_o we_o can_v be_v frustrate_a of_o that_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o he_o see_v then_o how_o we_o must_v make_v our_o profit_n of_o this_o place_n if_o god_n will_v be_v know_v firm_a and_o faithful_a in_o his_o word_n towards_o those_o which_o be_v as_o stranger_n and_o which_o he_o have_v shut_v out_o &_o reject_v from_o his_o church_n what_o will_v he_o then_o do_v towards_o we_o which_o be_v his_o child_n who_o he_o have_v adopt_v &_o to_o who_o it_o have_v please_v he_o to_o show_v himself_o nigh_o for_o if_o god_n in_o small_a thing_n as_o in_o the_o stock_n &_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o like_a

be_v the_o brethren_n and_o companion_n of_o angel_n under_o one_o head_n to_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v god_n there_o fail_v in_o his_o promise_n shall_v they_o be_v void_a and_o without_o effect_n and_o execution_n it_o be_v impossible_a this_o then_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o hold_v in_o this_o first_o place_n and_o further_o we_o have_v next_o to_o note_n that_o god_n

there_o be_v nothing_o so_o small_a in_o which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v some_o mark_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n imprint_v and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v
