father_n wrath_n and_o with_o satan_n death_n and_o hell_n and_o for_o our_o sake_n in_o particular_a sustain_v such_o woeful_a terror_n in_o his_o soul_n and_o torment_n in_o his_o body_n that_o he_o

of_o his_o father_n displeasure_n and_o the_o satisfy_n of_o his_o infinite_a justice_n and_o withal_o we_o shall_v serious_o ponder_v upon_o the_o inconceivable_a love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n in_o give_v his_o only_a and_o well-beloved_a son_n to_o suffer_v such_o unspeakable_a torture_n for_o we_o who_o be_v curse_a rebel_n against_o he_o and_o thence_o be_v draw_v to_o think_v on_o the_o

to_o strengthen_v our_o body_n and_o to_o refresh_v our_o heart_n so_o sure_o christ_n be_v make_v one_o with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o he_o and_o than_o our_o soul_n shall_v be_v strengthen_v and_o
