for_o a_o time_n by_o avoid_v the_o cross_n be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o lose_v it_o eternal_o and_o so_o to_o encourage_v the_o rather_o to_o the_o undergo_n of_o affliction_n he_o affirm_v

another_o day_n not_o so_o much_o our_o love_n to_o the_o person_n as_o our_o love_n unto_o god_n must_v now_o bear_v sway_n in_o do_v the_o thing_n with_o a_o entire_a respect_n to_o god_n command_v
