the_o hour_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v come_v so_o that_o you_o see_v these_o be_v the_o two_o great_a lesson_n that_o god_n call_v upon_o man_n to_o learn_v when_o his_o judgement_n be_v go_v

and_o it_o may_v further_o appear_v upon_o this_o ground_n reas_n 1._o because_o these_o be_v the_o two_o lesson_n which_o be_v learn_v do_v very_o much_o serve_v to_o fit_v and_o prepare_v man_n for_o those_o great_a design_n which_o god_n have_v to_o bring_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o last_o day_n now_o those_o qualification_n god_n especial_o look_v after_o and_o require_v of_o the_o son_n of_o

have_v any_o work_n to_o do_v of_o old_a this_o be_v one_o chief_a qualification_n that_o god_n look_v at_o if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o a_o civil_a office_n between_o man_n and_o man_n god_n require_v this_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v man_n fear_v god_n consider_v that_o counsel_n that_o be_v give_v by_o jethro_n the_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o moses_n exod._n 18_o 21._o moreover_o thou_o
