little_a trust_n be_v to_o be_v put_v in_o any_o but_o that_o god_n who_o alone_o enjoy_v a_o certainty_n of_o be_v and_o therefore_o can_v alone_o with_o safety_n be_v depend_v upon_o in_o the_o

fail_v we_o this_o be_v a_o consideration_n both_o so_o certain_a in_o its_o self_n and_o so_o obvious_a even_o to_o the_o mean_a capacity_n that_o do_v we_o not_o see_v man_n every_o day_n overlook_v it_o in_o their_o practice_n one_o may_v think_v it_o hardly_o needful_a to_o offer_v any_o argument_n either_o to_o illustrate_v or_o to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o if_o 1_o we_o consider_v the_o power_n of_o the_o great_a person_n to_o help_v we_o alas_o how_o little_a be_v it_o at_o the_o best_a and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n how_o useless_a to_o we_o in_o how_o many_o case_n do_v it_o surpass_v their_o power_n to_o do_v we_o any_o good_a and_o even_o in_o those_o in_o which_o it_o may_v seem_v the_o most_o in_o their_o power_n to_o assist_v we_o yet_o how_o many_o accident_n may_v there_o fall_v out_o to_o prevent_v we_o from_o be_v at_o all_o the_o better_a for_o it_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v unwilling_a to_o grant_v we_o what_o we_o desire_v of_o they_o perhaps_o they_o be_v dispose_v to_o do_v somewhat_o for_o we_o but_o they_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o our_o need_n require_v and_o so_o spoil_v all_o the_o advantage_n we_o hope_v to_o have_v reap_v from_o their_o kindness_n to_o we_o for_o want_v of_o make_v their_o supply_n suitable_a to_o our_o occasion_n it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v all_o that_o we_o desire_v of_o they_o but_o not_o present_o they_o put_v off_o the_o time_n till_o at_o last_o by_o their_o delay_n their_o favour_n come_v too_o late_o to_o we_o or_o last_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o in_o a_o little_a while_o they_o may_v change_v their_o mind_n and_o with_o they_o their_o affection_n towards_o we_o and_o so_o where_o we_o think_v to_o have_v find_v a_o friend_n we_o meet_v a_o enemy_n one_o who_o be_v dispose_v rather_o to_o do_v we_o a_o mischief_n than_o to_o lend_v any_o help_n or_o assistance_n to_o we_o so_o impotent_a so_o trifle_a so_o uncertain_a and_o

to_o we_o nor_o let_v any_o one_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o order_n of_o man_n exempt_v from_o the_o force_n of_o these_o reflection_n even_o the_o great_a person_n lie_v open_a to_o they_o

expose_v to_o the_o delusion_n of_o those_o about_o they_o who_o be_v still_o envious_a of_o such_o as_o they_o take_v into_o their_o particular_a favour_n and_o will_v therefore_o be_v still_o endeavour_v by_o all_o imaginable_a way_n to_o bring_v we_o into_o disgrace_n with_o they_o their_o favour_n be_v general_o the_o long_a in_o come_v and_o the_o hard_a to_o be_v obtain_v whilst_o the_o very_a formality_n which_o attend_v the_o dispense_v of_o they_o oftentimes_o cost_v so_o much_o and_o cause_v such_o delay_n as_o be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o many_o of_o those_o want_v
