why_o we_o must_v seek_v christ_n alone_o be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o so_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o as_o he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a courage_n to_o we_o to_o make_v suit_n when_o we_o be_v

the_o lord_n who_o ever_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o be_v confound_v in_o this_o respect_n he_o be_v call_v a_o father_n because_o as_o the_o father_n tender_v his_o son_n so_o

a_o shield_n a_o horn_n of_o salvation_n a_o refuge_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n with_o other_o such_o like_a appellation_n that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o our_o help_n and_o deliverance_n come_v from_o the_o lord_n put_v thou_o any_o trust_n in_o man_n who_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n curse_a be_v he_o that_o make_v man_n his_o strength_n 77._o and_o flesh_n his_o arm_n 16_o sure_o

well_o may_v i_o then_o affirm_v with_o moses_n 27._o curse_a be_v the_o image_n and_o the_o image_n maker_n the_o conclusion_n therefore_o of_o this_o point_n be_v this_o that_o we_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o strength_n ever_o more_o that_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o humility_n and_o sincerity_n and_o in_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n continual_o who_o without_o end_n be_v to_o
