that_o such_o as_o wait_v upon_o god_n must_v gather_v strength_n and_o courage_n to_o themselves_o in_o their_o dependence_n upon_o he_o which_o be_v do_v then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o

so_o you_o may_v the_o better_o see_v how_o a_o soul_n that_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n may_v wax_v strong_a a_o point_n needful_a to_o be_v discuss_v and_o search_v into_o by_o every_o one_o who_o desire_v with_o strength_n to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o many_o seem_v to_o be_v raise_v up_o with_o stoutness_n when_o indeed_o their_o stoutness_n be_v not_o true_a
