wise_a than_o we_o and_o love_v we_o far_o better_o than_o we_o do_v ourselves_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v always_o jump_v with_o our_o childish_a hope_n and_o keep_v pace_n with_o our_o

shall_v we_o be_v trouble_v that_o our_o affair_n sometime_o run_v counter_a to_o our_o humour_n and_o fancy_n do_v we_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n deal_n and_o see_v what_o he_o see_v and_o know_v what_o he_o know_v we_o shall_v praise_v he_o on_o our_o bend_a knee_n for_o those_o cross_n which_o be_v now_o the_o innocent_a cause_n of_o our_o repine_n against_o he_o this_o therefore_o in_o reason_n ought_v to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o we_o be_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o a_o most_o wise_a and_o gracious_a providence_n and_o that_o if_o affliction_n do_v befall_v we_o

when_o we_o know_v ourselves_o shelter_v within_o the_o bosom_n of_o that_o providence_n in_o which_o all_o the_o divine_a attribute_n like_v so_o many_o guardian_n angel_n do_v pitch_v their_o tent_n

bear_v to_o high_a hope_n and_o be_v now_o but_o candidate_n for_o a_o immortal_a preferment_n and_o of_o this_o the_o christian_a religion_n give_v we_o the_o most_o certain_a assurance_n even_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a by_o this_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v beget_v into_o a_o lively_a hope_n of_o a_o eternal_a inheritance_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o

since_o in_o so_o do_v he_o must_v have_v be_v guilty_a of_o cheat_v the_o world_n and_o second_v the_o most_o rank_a imposture_n than_o which_o we_o can_v form_v a_o conceit_n more_o black_a or_o

we_o have_v as_o full_a assurance_n as_o we_o can_v possible_o have_v of_o any_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o eye-witness_n of_o it_o confirm_v their_o testimony_n with_o
