secret_a know_v or_o conceal_v and_o according_o receive_v their_o doom_n from_o the_o almighty_a and_o righteous_a judge_n of_o the_o world._n let_v i_o only_o therefore_o remember_v you_o that_o

of_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o which_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o do_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o to_o show_v what_o it_o be_v to_o judge_n second_o how_o the_o

reason_n to_o entertain_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a virtue_n to_o make_v a_o discrimination_n between_o good_a and_o bad_a true_a and_o false_a and_o as_o we_o find_v thing_n upon_o
