delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o my_o god._n o_o ineffable_a and_o amaze_a love_n to_o mankind_n who_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o a_o eternal_a curse_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o lamb_n that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n so_o the_o eucharist_n represent_v to_o we_o in_o the_o five_o place_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o ground_n

and_o what_o a_o inconceivable_a advantage_n be_v this_o that_o god_n shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o we_o there_o be_v none_o but_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o this_o regard_n to_o be_v convince_v of_o which_o we_o need_v only_o hear_v they_o even_o at_o this_o day_n speak_v with_o the_o great_a comfort_n of_o the_o honour_n god_n
