where_o be_v now_o thy_o sting_n i_o have_v oft_o wonder_v if_o christ_n have_v bear_v all_o our_o misery_n and_o suffer_v death_n for_o we_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o feel_v any_o misery_n or_o see_v

part_n of_o your_o portion_n not_o only_o to_o have_v paul_n and_o apollo_n and_o world_n 3.22_o but_o death_n itself_o to_o do_v you_o good_a oh_o lord_n what_o a_o bless_a estate_n be_v this_o which_o though_o thousand_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n hear_v of_o yet_o they_o regard_v not_o they_o can_v strain_v their_o conscience_n in_o a_o restless_a pursuit_n of_o the_o

still_o remain_v quiet_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o war_n against_o god_n and_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v short_o take_v away_o peace_n from_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o plague_v
