jacob_n prospect_n of_o a_o rachel_n make_v his_o fourteen_o year_n hard_a service_n seem_v to_o he_o but_o as_o a_o few_o day_n what_o shall_v the_o prospect_n of_o this_o mighty_a reward_n this_o

into_o the_o world_n for_o not_o the_o work_n which_o he_o have_v give_v you_o to_o do_v let_v other_o who_o have_v begin_v well_o in_o all_o appearance_n be_v weary_a &_o faint_a &_o turn_v back_o with_o the_o dog_n to_o the_o vomit_n &_o the_o swine_n to_o the_o wallow_v again_o in_o the_o mire_n remember_v you_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v you_o shall_v reap_v if_o you_o faint_v not_o 1._o let_v i_o speak_v first_o to_o such_o as_o be_v stranger_n to_o god_n and_o hold_v up_o this_o crown_n this_o glorious_a crown_n to_o reasonable_a soul_n while_o i_o sound_v a_o retreat_n to_o they_o

his_o righteousness_n shall_v never_o be_v remember_v but_o he_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o iniquity_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v o_o let_v not_o your_o hand_n be_v weary_a with_o hold_v up_o the_o

in_o some_o tolerable_a measure_n answer_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o your_o particular_a relation_n god_n have_v set_v all_o of_o we_o in_o some_o particular_a relation_n or_o other_o scarce_o any_o

to_o who_o something_o may_v be_v say_v to_o satisfy_v they_o from_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o good_a and_o irresistible_a will_n of_o god_n and_o such_o other_o topic_n but_o little_a to_o

mourn_v there_o be_v a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n which_o the_o righteous_a lord_n have_v in_o part_n already_o set_v upon_o their_o head_n their_o soul_n be_v in_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o with_o which_o he_o will_v further_o encompass_v their_o head_n dignify_v both_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o that_o day_n that_o glorious_a day_n in_o the_o expectation_n of_o which_o we_o live_v when_o
