shall_v be_v more_o to_o i_o than_o for_o nabuchodonosor_n to_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o sense_n his_o reason_n his_o kingdom_n again_o this_o joy_n be_v to_o i_o as_o isaak_n be_v to_o abraham_n the_o whole_a comfort_n of_o my_o life_n and_o thou_o restored'_v he_o to_o his_o father_n in_o great_a compassion_n and_o will_v thou_o have_v no_o compassion_n on_o i_o and_o not_o restore_v my_o isaak_n to_o i_o again_o o_o merciful_a god_n take_v away_o my_o good_n take_v away_o my_o health_n take_v away_o my_o life_n but_o take_v not_o away_o this_o joy_n from_o i_o unless_o thou_o mean_v to_o restore_v it_o again_o for_o without_o this_o joy_n my_o good_n will_v do_v i_o no_o good_a i_o shall_v be_v sick_a of_o my_o health_n i_o shall_v be_v weary_a of_o my_o life_n all_o joy_n without_o this_o joy_n be_v but_o shadow_n of_o joy_n no_o solidness_n no_o substance_n in_o it_o other_o joy_n i_o can_v want_v and_o yet_o want_v no_o joy_n but_o how_o can_v i_o want_v the_o joy_n of_o thy_o salvation_n but_o i_o must_v needs_o fall_v into_o the_o hell_n of_o my_o own_o perdition_n indeed_o all_o these_o grace_n and_o special_o these_o four_o a_o right_a spirit_n and_o god_n presence_n his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n be_v all_o i_o may_v say_v of_o a_o covey_n like_o partridge_n that_o always_o keep_v together_o or_o if_o at_o any_o time_n part_v by_o violence_n they_o never_o leave_v call_v after_o one_o another_o till_o they_o meet_v again_o and_o thus_o a_o right_a spirit_n call_v after_o god_n presence_n his_o presence_n after_o his_o holy_a spirit_n his_o holy_a spirit_n after_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n call_v after_o they_o all_o o_o then_o restore_v to_o i_o the_o joy_n of_o thy_o salvation_n that_o this_o covey_n of_o thy_o grace_n may_v be_v keep_v together_o and_o that_o the_o mournful_a voice_n of_o call_v after_o one_o another_o may_v no_o more_o be_v hear_v to_o disquiet_v my_o soul_n but_o how_o can_v god_n restore_v that_o which_o he_o take_v not_o away_o for_o can_v i_o charge_v god_n with_o the_o take_n away_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n from_o i_o o_o gracious_a god_n i_o charge_v not_o thou_o with_o take_v it_o but_o myself_o with_o lose_v it_o and_o such_o be_v the_o miserable_a condition_n of_o we_o poor_a wretch_n that_o if_o thou_o shall_v restore_v no_o more_o to_o we_o than_o what_o thou_o take_v from_o we_o we_o shall_v quick_o be_v at_o a_o fault_n in_o our_o estate_n and_o our_o ruin_n will_v be_v as_o sudden_a as_o inevitable_a but_o why_o be_o i_o so_o â—arenest_a for_o restore_v for_o what_o good_a will_n restore_v do_v i_o if_o i_o can_v keep_v it_o when_o i_o have_v it_o and_o how_o shall_v i_o more_o keep_v it_o be_v restore_v than_o i_o keep_v it_o before_o be_v enjoy_v and_o if_o i_o so_o enjoy_v it_o as_o still_o fear_v to_o lose_v it_o what_o joy_n can_v there_o be_v in_o such_o enjoy_n o_o therefore_o not_o restore_v it_o only_o but_o establish_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a spirit_n that_o as_o by_o thy_o restore_n 20._o i_o may_v enjoy_v it_o entire_o so_o by_o thy_o establish_n i_o may_v enjoy_v it_o secure_o indeed_o if_o thou_o shall_v only_o restore_v it_o and_o then_o leave_v it_o for_o i_o to_o keep_v i_o shall_v present_o run_v a_o hazard_n of_o lose_v it_o again_o but_o when_o thou_o restore_v it_o and_o then_o confirme_v it_o and_o that_o with_o the_o seal_n of_o thy_o free_a spirit_n this_o give_v i_o a_o indefeasible_a estate_n and_o absolute_o free_v i_o from_o fear_n of_o lose_v it_o any_o more_o for_o ever_o alas_o my_o soul_n what_o qualm_n have_v these_o be_v what_o float_n between_o fear_n and_o hope_v all_o the_o comfort_n be_v that_o as_o hope_n set_v out_o first_o and_o get_v the_o start_n of_o fear_n so_o it_o keep_v the_o field_n last_o and_o get_v the_o goal_n from_o fear_n for_o hope_v setâ—ing_v out_o by_o god_n renew_v a_o right_a spirit_n and_o then_o disturb_v by_o fear_n lest_o he_o shall_v take_v away_o his_o holy_a spirit_n get_v the_o victory_n at_o last_o by_o be_v establish_v with_o god_n free_a spirit_n for_o this_o establish_n fix_v our_o float_a and_o free_v we_o from_o have_v these_o qualm_n of_o fear_n and_o hope_v any_o more_o not_o that_o we_o can_v ever_o be_v free_a where_o they_o be_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v where_o we_o be_v not_o fear_n because_o in_o a_o haven_n not_o hope_n because_o in_o possession_n but_o what_o mystery_n be_v it_o that_o david_n intend_v here_o by_o his_o triplicity_n of_o
