day_n of_o tribulation_n and_o i_o will_v deliver_v thou_o the_o five_o consideration_n of_o faith_n here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o faith_n god_n which_o crave_v forgiveness_n reconciliation_n life_n everlasting_a and_o government_n of_o the_o soul_n aught_o in_o form_n to_o crave_v these_o self_n same_o benefit_n and_o look_v for_o they_o without_o condition_n because_o god_n will_v have_v these_o to_o be_v crave_v for_o by_o name_n and_o not_o to_o have_v these_o gift_n be_v to_o remain_v a_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o reproach_n god_n or_o to_o injure_v he_o according_a to_o the_o

the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o must_v we_o needs_o retain_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o life_n everlasting_a like_a as_o job_n say_v cap._n 13._o 15._o yea_o thoug_a he_o shall_v kill_v

theological_a place_n in_o all_o man_n hand_n and_o other_o book_n contain_v a_o long_a explication_n or_o open_n at_o full_a of_o this_o virtue_n but_o like_a as_o god_n require_v of_o we_o a_o petition_n in_o our_o prayer_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v almighty_a present_a and_o a_o helper_n that_o he_o may_v communicate_v himself_o in_o such_o acknowledgement_n unto_o we_o so_o he_o require_v a_o give_v of_o thanks_n that_o this_o acknowledgement_n may_v go_v forward_o in_o us._n for_o when_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n be_v extinguish_v in_o unthankeful_a person_n god_n then_o cease_v any_o long_a to_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o they_o like_v as_o most_o part_n of_o secure_a person_n after_o benefit_n

of_o god_n when_o with_o the_o follow_a commemoration_n and_o profession_n they_o ought_v to_o nourish_v and_o confirm_v the_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n and_o faith_n in_o he_o see_v therefore_o
