when_o thou_o go_v to_o present_v thyself_o before_o his_o majesty_n if_o thy_o conscience_n be_v waken_v thou_o will_v find_v god_n mark_v thy_o sin_n lay_v they_o to_o thy_o charge_n and_o will_v

action_n our_o thankfulness_n otherwise_o than_o we_o do_v now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o next_o argument_n which_o move_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v thankful_a he_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

to_o satan_n what_o goodness_n then_o can_v god_n see_v in_o any_o of_o we_o except_o he_o put_v it_o into_o we_o and_o what_o can_v move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o one_o more_o than_o another_o but_o only_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o free-liking_a but_o this_o he_o say_v to_o meet_v and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o wicked_a and_o malicious_a man_n who_o go_v about_o to_o

with_o his_o own_o mouth_n that_o he_o will_v use_v my_o ministry_n and_o declare_v that_o where_o i_o be_v unfaithful_a before_o he_o account_v i_o faithful_a he_o account_v more_o of_o i_o than_o i_o be_v worthy_a of_o so_o by_o this_o the_o apostle_n import_v a_o double_a grace_n which_o he_o get_v from_o christ_n first_o that_o whereas_o he_o be_v ynfaithfull_a the_o lord_n give_v he_o say_v

here_o you_o see_v that_o as_o before_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n that_o he_o find_v so_o here_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o that_o exceed_a mercy_n utter_v in_o forgive_a he_o his_o sin_n and_o in_o call_v he_o to_o be_v a_o apostle_n hence_o we_o perceive_v brethren_n that_o no_o man_n will_v ever_o account_v of_o jesus_n christ_n except_o he_o first_o find_v that_o

by_o god_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v once_o extend_v the_o mantle_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n upon_o his_o choose_a child_n then_o albeit_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o
