let_v we_o admire_v and_o bless_v this_o good_a god_n and_o not_o quarrel_v with_o his_o minister_n nor_o providence_n and_o say_v other_o man_n have_v comfort_n and_o therefore_o why_o be_o i_o so_o

in_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n i_o hope_v god_n in_o his_o season_n will_v do_v good_a to_o my_o soul_n 2._o second_o let_v we_o be_v wise_a to_o nourish_v this_o same_o bless_a work_n in_o our_o

6.19_o for_o this_o hope_n be_v call_v the_o anchor_n of_o the_o soul_n thou_o do_v not_o yet_o see_v the_o lord_n refresh_v of_o thou_o but_o it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o the_o people_n of_o
