that_o be_v hard_a against_o god_n and_o soft_a for_o god_n and_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v hard_a for_o god_n and_o soft_a against_o god_n the_o first_o when_o it_o be_v bold_a in_o sin_v but_o fearful_a and_o soft_a in_o trouble_n as_o deut._n 20._o 8._o the_o fearful_a and_o the_o soft-heartea_a but_o now_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v hard_a for_o god_n and_o soft_a against_o god_n be_v the_o heart_n which_o be_v a_o coward_n in_o sin_n but_o like_o a_o lion_n undaunted_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o suffering_n they_o will_v trust_v in_o god_n though_o he_o kill_v they_o and_o can_v

to_o be_v do_v upon_o we_o god_n intend_a will_n be_v either_o 1._o secret_n before_o the_o decree_n bring_v forth_o the_o issue_n and_o event_n 2._o or_o else_o declare_v by_o the_o event_n while_o

be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o of_o quietness_n of_o mind_n when_o we_o be_v so_o persuade_v of_o the_o lord_n goodness_n wisdom_n and_o power_n that_o we_o leave_v the_o
