that_o we_o may_v repair_v unto_o god_n and_o say_v where_o be_v our_o welfare_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v it_o there_o for_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o among_o man_n and_o how_o must_v we_o seek_v it_o but_o by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n then_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n sith_o thou_o see_v we_o void_a of_o all_o goodness_n fill_v thou_o we_o with_o thy_o grace_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o thy_o son_n

good_a too_o we_o as_o to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o thine_o infinite_a goodness_n behold_v in_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v

and_o have_v not_o any_o more_o reason_n in_o they_o for_o sometime_o man_n shall_v sin_v through_o simplicity_n and_o yet_o stand_v in_o some_o fear_n of_o god_n howbeit_o they_o shall_v be_v dull_v

there_o shall_v some_o fear_n of_o god_n lie_v hide_v in_o they_o which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o choke_v well_o then_o such_o manner_n of_o folk_n have_v more_o simplicity_n than_o craftiness_n and_o

take_v unmeasurable_a liberty_n to_o follow_v all_o evil_n of_o set_a purpose_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o crafty_a or_o subtle_a folk_n of_o who_o eliphas_n make_v mention_n in_o this_o strain_v be_v not_o such_o as_o do_v amiss_o through_o ignorance_n and_o oversight_n but_o such_o as_o wilful_o and_o of_o set_a purpose_n make_v none_o account_v of_o god_n nor_o of_o the_o handle_n of_o

that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v at_o that_o point_n shall_v ever_o return_v to_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o strait_o

little_a babe_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o come_v unto_o he_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n but_o that_o we_o must_v always_o do_v it_o with_o fear_n and_o lowliness_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o which_o have_v a_o right_a knowledge_n of_o god_n will_v be_v willing_a to_o come_v too_o he_o yea_o and_o come_v to_o he_o in_o deed_n rejoice_v in_o that_o he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v his_o father_n

and_o we_o have_v need_v too_o be_v so_o beat_v down_o consider_v the_o presumptuousness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o pride_n in_o we_o as_o we_o will_v never_o

that_o the_o same_o fear_n serve_v not_o to_o dismay_v we_o but_o too_o bring_v we_o under_o his_o lure_n that_o we_o may_v crave_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o be_v

for_o we_o see_v that_o man_n will_v fain_o hide_v their_o own_o filthiness_n in_o what_o plight_n soever_o they_o be_v they_o cease_v not_o to_o like_v well_o of_o then selue_o â–ª_o and_o to_o

and_o that_o even_o after_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v overwhelm_v by_o his_o hand_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o play_v the_o father_n still_o yea_o even_o upon_o our_o body_n

strange_a if_o he_o bereave_v we_o of_o they_o afterward_o but_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o say_a knowledge_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o namely_o that_o god_n do_v evermore_o hold_v such_o a_o

because_o the_o father_n have_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o all_o square_a as_o they_o have_v lead_v a_o stubborn_a froward_a life_n god_n forsake_v their_o offspring_n insomuch_o that_o the_o grace_n

to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v crassh_v and_o break_v his_o bone_n as_o a_o lion_n that_o hold_v he_o in_o his_o paw_n and_o tooth_n but_o how_o can_v god_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n which_o be_v so_o cruel_a a_o beast_n no_o ezechias_n ment_fw-la not_o to_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o feel_n and_o of_o the_o terrible_a pain_n that_o he_o endure_v when_o god_n wrath_n be_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o a_o poor_a creature_n enter_v into_o doubt_v in_o what_o case_n he_o be_v with_o god_n and_o perceive_v not_o that_o god_n

perfect_a righteousness_n in_o god_n as_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o the_o creature_n can_v bring_v must_v of_o necessity_n be_v nought_o worth_a insomuch_o that_o if_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o

to_o glorify_v he_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rejoice_v at_o it_o for_o what_o great_a joy_n can_v we_o require_v than_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o god_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v thus_o draw_v near_o

say_a text_n too_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o treasure_n of_o ezechias_n and_o of_o all_o his_o people_n isaiah_n therefore_o do_v well_o show_v there_o that_o which_o job_n mean_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o such_o as_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n teach_v by_o his_o word_n will_v not_o be_v wed_v to_o these_o

when_o they_o shall_v have_v profit_v so_o far_o as_o to_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o therewithal_o we_o must_v apply_v our_o whole_a study_n and_o set_v our_o whole_a mind_n upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o

thou_o too_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v fear_v thou_o we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n until_o they_o have_v know_v god_n mercy_n and_o take_v hold_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n to_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o free_a heart_n and_o too_o seek_v he_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o shun_v god_n we_o be_v fierce_a against_o he_o and_o

where_o true_a fear_n be_v for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o under_o this_o word_n fear_n the_o scripture_n mean_v only_o some_o bondage_n that_o man_n shall_v yield_v unto_o god_n as_o though_o

know_v what_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n be_v and_o yield_v he_o such_o reverence_n as_o we_o may_v be_v true_o join_v unto_o he_o and_o undoubted_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o honour_n that_o

unto_o it_o for_o that_o also_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n when_o he_o

than_o we_o see_v that_o to_o fear_n god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o goodness_n but_o here_o job_n have_v set_v down_o one_o particular_a for_o the_o whole_a purposely_o to_o

that_o all_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o god_n shall_v answer_v he_o wherein_o he_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n will_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o he_o as_o to_o show_v he_o why_o he_o be_v

sleep_n trouble_v they_o and_o also_o that_o he_o speak_v by_o chastisement_n it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o here_o be_v the_o two_o manner_n of_o speak_v unto_o we_o which_o god_n use_v so_o as_o sometime_o he_o reveal_v himself_o by_o inspiration_n and_o sometime_o also_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o hand_n but_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n &_o it_o be_v a_o constrain_a sense_n furthermore_o we_o need_v not_o to_o beat_v our_o brain_n much_o in_o seek_v diversity_n of_o exposition_n see_v that_o the_o natural_a sense_n be_v manifest_a unto_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o follow_v that_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o which_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v speak_v once_o or_o twice_o yea_o and_o yet_o not_o be_v understand_v thus_o we_o know_v what_o eliu_n mean_v to_o say_v and_o now_o remain_v to_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o instruction_n and_o how_o first_o of_o all_o by_o know_v our_o own_o slenderness_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n take_v so_o high_o upon_o they_o to_o seek_v and_o search_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o nothing_o may_v escape_v they_o but_o because_o they_o think_v themselves_o able_a enough_o too_o find_v out_o all_o thing_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v thorough_o well_o tame_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o challenge_v nothing_o to_o himself_o he_o will_v be_v no_o more_o so_o proud_a and_o lofty_a to_o search_v god_n secret_n to_o far_o out_o of_o measure_n so_o then_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v take_v profit_n of_o this_o text_n special_o first_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o yea_o even_n by_o acknowledge_v that_o our_o understanding_n be_v to_o small_a and_o gross_a mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o consider_v also_o that_o god_n secret_a judgement_n be_v a_o dreadful_a dungeon_n that_o his_o way_n be_v incomprehensible_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o wade_v to_o far_o in_o they_o but_o must_v content_v themselves_o with_o that_o which_o he_o declare_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o when_o we_o think_v upon_o the_o highness_n of_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v ravish_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o it_o &_o conclude_v that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o be_v able_a to_o know_v &_o comprehend_v all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o for_o whither_o be_v that_o to_o go_v we_o creep_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n &_o we_o know_v that_o he_o far_o surmount_v the_o heaven_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o honour_v his_o secret_a judgement_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v always_o have_v authority_n to_o speak_v &_o utter_v what_o he_o list_v maugre_o all_o they_o that_o speak_v against_o he_o yea_o &_o that_o when_o he_o speak_v once_o or_o twice_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o show_v his_o pleasure_n and_o will_n man_n shall_v know_v nothing_o of_o it_o because_o they_o be_v to_o rude_a to_o conceive_v the_o thing_n in_o one_o word_n which_o god_n have_v determine_v in_o his_o purpose_n but_o shall_v daily_o see_v one_o thing_n &_o yet_o not_o withstand_v be_v new_a to_o seek_v of_o it_o yea_o &_o still_o dazzle_v at_o it_o even_o at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o year_n or_o ten_o &_o although_o they_o have_v see_v one_o thing_n often_o yet_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v hide_v from_o they_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o we_o it_o be_v sufficient_o confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o experience_n that_o we_o never_o come_v to_o any_o reason_n but_o by_o compulsion_n &_o that_o we_o will_v always_o needs_o be_v selfwise_o even_o though_o our_o ignorance_n show_v itself_o enough_o &_o to_o much_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o text_n that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o determination_n as_o it_o be_v bury_v &_o hide_v we_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o daily_o &_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v save_v that_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n &_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o bridle_v ourselves_o in_o wait_v till_o our_o lord_n revele_v it_o in_o great_a perfection_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v till_o we_o be_v bereave_v of_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o and_o according_a to_o the_o article_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o let_v we_o note_v also_o that_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o judgement_n which_o god_n will_v have_v hide_v because_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o behoof_n to_o have_v full_a knowledge_n of_o they_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the._n 62._o psalm_n that_o god_n speak_v once_o &_o david_n protest_v that_o he_o will_v bear_v it_o twice_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v might_n &_o mercy_n in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o treat_v of_o god_n wonderful_a judgement_n as_o there_o be_v here_o of_o what_o then_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o learn_v by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v bring_v to_o our_o remembrance_n &_o set_v before_o we_o continual_o for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o mighty_a power_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v fear_v he_o &_o walk_n according_a to_o his_o will_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o give_v we_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v take_v comfort_n &_o joy_n at_o it_o what_o learn_v we_o daily_o by_o god_n word_n but_o that_o he_o be_v the_o master_n to_o who_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a &_o that_o we_o must_v not_o live_v after_o our_o own_o lust_n but_o that_o god_n must_v reign_v over_o we_o &_o his_o law_n be_v a_o bridle_n that_o we_o may_v be_v teach_v under_o it_o thus_o the_o first_o point_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o know_v what_o he_o require_v &_o allow_v the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n &_o saviour_n to_o the_o end_n to_o put_v our_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v he_o by_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o mere_a mercy_n know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o damnation_n in_o we_o and_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v draw_v we_o out_o of_o death_n through_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o as_o concern_v this_o second_o point_n the_o two_o thing_n wherein_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v confirm_v be_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o he_o for_o resuge_a and_o also_o that_o forsomuch_o as_o his_o mercy_n be_v set_v before_o we_o daily_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o so_o then_o this_o text_n of_o david_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v keep_v hide_v from_o our_o knowledge_n but_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o teach_v we_o therefore_o he_o say_v god_n have_v speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n have_v so_o manifest_v his_o will_n in_o his_o speak_n as_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o doubt_v any_o more_o nor_o to_o reply_v against_o that_o which_o he_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v it_o twice_o say_v he_o herein_o he_o betoken_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v hear_v god_n at_o a_o glance_n but_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o mind_v the_o thing_n without_o cease_v which_o he_o speak_v and_o although_o he_o speak_v but_o once_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o let_v his_o doctrine_n slip_v but_o settle_v it_o thorough_o in_o our_o remembrance_n and_o learn_v to_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o think_v upon_o it_o early_o and_o late_o because_o our_o memory_n be_v short_a so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o apply_v themselves_o thorough_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n show_v they_o by_o his_o word_n and_o to_o set_v their_o whole_a mind_n upon_o it_o assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o tell_v and_o promise_v they_o for_o their_o welfare_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n howbeit_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o seek_v any_o further_a and_o let_v we_o not_o covet_v to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v by_o learning_n in_o his_o school_n and_o if_o he_o reserve_v any_o secret_a judgement_n to_o himself_o let_v we_o be_v ignorant_a in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v know_v unto_o we_o until_o he_o have_v take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n govern_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o providence_n and_o eliu_n speak_v

of_o his_o wrath_n and_o we_o plunge_v ourselves_o the_o deep_a into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v more_o than_o needful_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v show_v we_o how_o much_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v well_o assure_v of_o god_n mercifulness_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o it_o treat_v of_o

your_o redeemer_n seek_v to_o join_v you_o and_o knit_v you_o to_o god_n his_o father_n and_o therefore_o be_v you_o glad_a be_v you_o quiet_a and_o be_v you_o at_o rest_n in_o your_o conscience_n hereby_o we_o be_v admonish_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o unquietness_n so_o long_o as_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o case_n we_o be_v with_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a will_v seek_v mean_n enough_o too_o make_v themselves_o merry_a and_o in_o good_a faith_n they_o ruffle_v it_o out_o as_o you_o see_v in_o despize_v god_n but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v yet_o do_v god_n send_v they_o such_o prick_n and_o torment_n of_o mind_n as_o they_o be_v sore_o distress_v and_o if_o they_o dance_v it_o be_v after_o the_o fashion_n that_o be_v

that_o the_o wicked_a may_v ruffle_v it_o out_o but_o yet_o can_v they_o not_o go_v out_o of_o their_o door_n without_o gnaw_v of_o their_o conscience_n and_o god_n must_v still_o hold_v they_o at_o that_o bay_n therefore_o somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o turn_v not_o our_o back_n unto_o god_n ne_o bury_v not_o our_o

we_o be_v glad_a of_o that_o for_o they_o shall_v our_o gladness_n be_v bless_v and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o taste_n that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n it_o will_v sanctify_v all_o our_o joy_n but_o without_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o quail_v and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o rejoice_v mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o for_o the_o second_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v that_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n mingle_v with_o it_o according_a as_o god_n will_v excercise_n we_o for_o he_o will_v not_o send_v we_o full_a joy_n so_o as_o we_o may_v laugh_v with_o open_a mouth_n as_o they_o say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v content_v with_o this_o certainty_n that_o we_o have_v he_o to_o our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v mercy_n with_o he_o then_o if_o we_o have_v this_o privilege_n of_o ability_n too_o call_v upon_o our_o god_n and_o can_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o gate_n be_v open_a to_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v good_a access_n unto_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o say_v if_o we_o can_v have_v that_o boldness_n not_o through_o our_o own_o rashness_n but_o for_o that_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o open_v his_o holy_a mouth_n too_o witness_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o which_o thing_n he_o do_v when_o his_o gospel_n be_v publish_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o encumbrance_n yea_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o pass_v further_o and_o to_o surmount_v they_o all_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n see_v that_o god_n love_n be_v print_v in_o our_o

also_o in_o very_a deed_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n who_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v but_o give_v too_o the_o death_n for_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v gather_v new_a strength_n and_o be_v restore_v again_o and_o that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v become_v as_o fresh_a as_o a_o young_a child_n for_o it_o

when_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o peace_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v the_o gladness_n which_o in_o give_v we_o through_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o the_o same_o

for_o god_n never_o require_v it_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o ever_o any_o man_n shall_v know_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o their_o fault_n i_o meene_z even_o of_o their_o

that_o they_o be_v righteous_a howbeit_o when_o they_o confess_v themselves_o sinner_n it_o be_v but_o a_o cloak_n of_o hypocrisy_n they_o say_v that_o all_o man_n be_v so_o and_o so_o whereas_o every_o man_n ought_v too_o feel_v his_o own_o misdo_n we_o fall_v too_o cover_v of_o they_o with_o the_o mantle_n of_o other_o man_n and_o that_o be_v a_o plain_n mock_v of_o god_n so_o then_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o confess_v unfeigned_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o he_o let_v we_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o own_o

othersome_a who_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v any_o offence_n do_v fall_v too_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n when_o a_o whole_a street_n be_v infect_v with_o whoredom_n if_o a_o man_n reprove_v they_o for_o it_o they_o will_v ask_v he_o whither_o they_o bring_v he_o back_o too_o popishness_n or_o no_o because_o they_o be_v tell_v of_o their_o fault_n as_o who_o will_v say_v that_o god_n will_v

let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n discover_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o have_v cause_v any_o trouble_n or_o offence_n we_o shall_v labour_v too_o amend_v it_o and_o

such_o as_o be_v in_o despair_n shall_v recover_v hope_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v in_o effect_n to_o declare_v in_o this_o text_n that_o
