of_o their_o soul_n to_o he_o in_o well_o do_v as_o unto_o a_o faithful_a creator_n this_o epistle_n be_v write_v to_o saint_n in_o affliction_n special_o those_o of_o the_o circumcision_n for_o who_o this_o peter_n be_v a_o apostle_n and_o it_o be_v write_v to_o they_o to_o counsel_n and_o comfort_v they_o in_o their_o affliction_n to_o counsel_v they_o as_o to_o the_o cause_n for_o which_o they_o

the_o effect_n of_o our_o true_a do_v of_o this_o be_v we_o shall_v find_v god_n a_o faithful_a creator_n we_o will_v first_o begin_v with_o the_o duty_n that_o sufferer_n be_v here_o direct_v to_o

i_o say_v that_o he_o there_o caution_n they_o to_o take_v care_n of_o according_a to_o peter_n here_o let_v they_o commit_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o he_o in_o well-doing_n second_o now_o to_o commit_v this_o soul_n to_o god_n be_v to_o carry_v it_o to_o he_o to_o lift_v it_o to_o he_o upon_o my_o bend_a knee_n and_o to_o pray_v he_o for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n to_o

many_o have_v engage_v themselves_o against_o it_o thus_o david_n commit_v his_o soul_n to_o god_n when_o he_o say_v arise_v o_o lord_n disappoint_v he_o cast_v he_o down_o deliver_v my_o soul_n o_o

while_o they_o engage_v for_o his_o name_n in_o the_o world_n now_o from_o the_o apostle_n exhortation_n to_o this_o great_a duty_n i_o will_v draw_v these_o follow_a conclusion_n first_o that_o
