we_o not_o to_o despair_v but_o to_o remember_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v not_o quench_v but_o increase_v it_o so_o as_o we_o do_v but_o pray_v with_o the_o bless_a apostle_n o_o lord_n

in_o humble_a prayer_n four_o diligent_a read_n search_a and_o seek_v into_o god_n most_o holy_a &_o bless_a word_n help_v much_o unto_o patience_n wherein_o he_o do_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n his_o

in_o these_o our_o day_n and_o time_n he_o have_v

when_o we_o can_v go_v by_o offence_n and_o put_v up_o wrong_n and_o suffer_v trouble_n quiet_o we_o shall_v find_v a_o kind_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o our_o heart_n as_o though_o we_o have_v

nothing_o to_o overcome_v they_o jos_n 2._o so_o will_v patience_n say_v unto_o we_o amid_o all_o our_o cross_n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v belie_v nothing_o to_o be_v envy_v nothing_o to_o be_v back-byted_n nothing_o to_o be_v slander_v nothing_o to_o be_v imprison_v etc._n etc._n as_o though_o all_o these_o thing_n do_v come_v upon_o we_o not_o to_o make_v we_o conquer_v but_o rather_o by_o our_o patience_n to_o make_v we_o conqueror_n and_o thus_o all_o be_v as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o bear_v of_o the_o cross_n which_o make_v persecution_n seem_v joyful_a to_o some_o and_o

to_o some_o that_o have_v patience_n to_o bear_v it_o as_o christ_n by_o his_o infinite_a patience_n do_v suffer_v infinite_a pain_n for_o our_o infinite_a sin_n so_o shall_v we_o bear_v all_o our_o
