hatch_v her_o young_a they_o look_v whitish_a which_o the_o old_a one_o can_v abide_v be_v themselves_o black_a and_o therefore_o the_o raven_n forbear_v to_o feed_v his_o young_a one_o for_o seven_o

raven_n be_v not_o delight_v in_o her_o young_a till_o they_o grow_v black_a it_o be_v doubtless_o true_a in_o spiritual_n like_a to_o like_v god_n love_v none_o with_o delight_n but_o holy_a and_o pure_a one_o and_o the_o more_o holy_a and_o pure_a any_o be_v the_o more_o he_o love_v they_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o himself_o be_v altogether_o infinite_o pure_a and_o holy_a where_o god_n

god_n provide_v for_o they_o and_o when_o they_o wander_v from_o their_o nest_n for_o lack_v of_o meat_n god_n feed_v they_o too_o some_o restrain_v this_o wander_a to_o a_o narrow_a compass_n and_o

have_v receive_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o much_o in_o remember_v first_o our_o duty_n eccles_n 12.1_o remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n

second_o note_v it_o be_v best_a not_o to_o do_v or_o forbear_v to_o do_v that_o which_o we_o can_v but_o see_v if_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n in_o our_o head_n will_v be_v dangerous_a to_o we_o in_o

and_o do_v no_o more_o will_v any_o wise_a man_n engage_v in_o danger_n which_o can_v produce_v no_o profit_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o do_v and_o do_v again_o though_o our_o

even_o the_o danger_n of_o eternal_a wrath_n and_o death_n thus_o i_o have_v touch_v at_o some_o thing_n from_o this_o three_o part_n of_o the_o description_n of_o leviathan_n he_o have_v hitherto_o
