they_o rejoice_v and_o be_v comfort_v and_o as_o certain_o as_o the_o wicked_a be_v now_o set_v up_o so_o assure_o shall_v they_o fall_v and_o as_o certain_o as_o iniquity_n abound_v so_o assure_o shall_v it_o have_v a_o end_n and_o as_o certain_o as_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v blaspheme_v and_o dishonour_v so_o assure_o shall_v it_o be_v glorify_v and_o exalt_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o as_o certain_o as_o god_n truth_n be_v now_o trample_v upon_o and_o reject_v by_o thousand_o so_o assure_o shall_v it_o be_v advance_v and_o receive_v by_o ten_o thousand_o and_o though_o my_o

and_o my_o soul_n invit_v you_o my_o dear_a brethren_n and_o sister_n to_o come_v and_o rejoice_v with_o i_o in_o the_o assurance_n which_o god_n give_v we_o of_o the_o certainty_n of_o these_o

wherefore_o my_o dear_o belove_a look_v not_o out_o at_o the_o present_a blackness_n and_o darkness_n which_o represent_v itself_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o many_o cloud_n which_o hang_v over_o the_o earth_n but_o look_v at_o the_o daystar_n which_o be_v a_o rise_v in_o your_o heart_n which_o precede_v the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n which_o though_o he_o yet_o seem_v to_o be_v darken_v yet_o as_o certain_o as_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n be_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n so_o assure_o shall_v this_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n arise_v and_o shine_v

the_o work_n and_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n shall_v go_v to_o decay_v and_o then_o shall_v the_o joyful_a song_n of_o deliverance_n be_v sing_v by_o the_o ransom_v one_o of_o the_o lord_n then_o shall_v the_o voice_n of_o joy_n and_o gladness_n be_v hear_v in_o our_o land_n then_o shall_v babe_n and_o suckling_n learn_v the_o song_n of_o zion_n and_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o the_o most_o high_a shall_v make_v a_o heavenly_a pleasant_a melody_n and_o great_a will_v be_v the_o joy_n and_o delight_n of_o the_o lord_n choose_v even_o such_o as_o that_o their_o present_a suffering_n
