to_o bear_v up_o faith_n if_o he_o be_v not_o eternal_a god_n and_o lord_n equal_a with_o his_o father_n he_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v and_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o trust_v in_o man_n and_o

all_o man_n be_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o like_a to_o be_v lose_v for_o ever_o four_o true_a faith_n must_v come_v to_o christ_n as_o lord_n or_o else_o we_o can_v have_v any_o assurance_n that_o

in_o public_a and_o in_o our_o family_n in_o private_a to_o be_v pour_v out_o supplication_n and_o to_o be_v speak_v well_o of_o god_n be_v our_o duty_n if_o in_o sickness_n then_o much_o more_o in_o

our_o complaint_n be_v that_o we_o can_v worship_v that_o be_v the_o grief_n and_o the_o burden_n that_o we_o can_v worship_v the_o lord_n we_o be_v take_v off_o from_o our_o duty_n if_o so_o we_o

to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n one_o word_n of_o exhortation_n and_o so_o i_o end_v brethren_n let_v we_o look_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o teach_v we_o this_o lesson_n 3_o to_o make_v

take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o blot_v out_o those_o name_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o the_o covenant_n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v further_o by_o way_n of_o objection_n
