bowel_n of_o god_n compassion_n then_o let_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o affliction_n hinder_v our_o faith_n let_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o trouble_n reason_n down_o our_o faith_n but_o rather_o let_v it_o reason_v up_o our_o faith_n for_o so_o indeed_o it_o shall_v and_o so_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n heretofore_o have_v do_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o trouble_n we_o must_v reason_v up_o our_o faith_n as_o thus_o it_o be_v â—â—me_n for_o thou_o o_o lord_n to_o work_v for_o man_n have_v almost_o destroy_v thy_o law_n yea_o the_o high_a time_n be_v come_v for_o thou_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o zion_n heart_n for_o thy_o people_n begin_v to_o favour_v the_o dust_n thereof_o what_o be_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o pardon_v my_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v very_o great_a to_o move_v god_n withal_o sure_o then_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n deliver_v we_o in_o our_o affliction_n for_o they_o be_v very_o great_a for_o sin_n make_v a_o great_a

compassion_n to_o work_v much_o more_o the_o greatness_n of_o affliction_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o second_o covenant_n that_o even_o the_o sin_n that_o before_o make_v the_o creature_n the_o object_n of_o hatred_n those_o sin_n come_v now_o to_o make_v it_o a_o object_n of_o compassion_n so_o affliction_n that_o before_o be_v part_n of_o the_o curse_n they_o come_v now_o to_o be_v argument_n for_o the_o move_n of_o the_o bowel_n of_o god_n tender_a compassion_n towards_o his_o people_n another_o note_n if_o you_o read_v it_o so_o for_o great_a be_v their_o affliction_n be_v this_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o only_a support_n of_o the_o soul_n obser_n and_o that_o which_o carry_v it_o through_o the_o great_a affliction_n affliction_n be_v as_o lead_v to_o
