neither_o can_v this_o soul_n fear_v to_o outlive_v its_o comfort_n and_o delight_n because_o they_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o a_o everliving_a god_n and_o the_o eternal_a love_n and_o free_a grace_n of_o

ever_o have_v and_o shall_v be_v a_o life_n of_o glory_n therefore_o this_o exhortation_n be_v always_o full_a of_o weight_n and_o glory_n but_o i_o think_v in_o these_o latter_a day_n of_o the_o

first_o believe_v he_o in_o his_o covenant_n of_o free_a grace_n believe_v that_o he_o mean_v to_o keep_v it_o and_o will_v perform_v it_o to_o the_o utmost_a be_v there_o no_o othere_o reason_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o believe_v he_o will_v keep_v it_o because_o he_o have_v make_v it_o in_o himself_o and_o he_o be_v god_n that_o can_v lie_v he_o be_v almighty_a and_o can_v want_v no_o power_n to_o prove_v himself_o the_o true_a and_o faithful_a god_n it_o be_v all_o grace_n and_o so_o all_o god_n that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v less_o than_o it_o be_v but_o for_o ever_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n or_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o god_n of_o grace_n a_o little_a consider_v the_o condition_n of_o this_o covenant_n and_o then_o see_v how_o faith_n on_o god_n in_o this_o
