and_o no_o long_o thus_o far_o this_o fear_n be_v godly_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v godly_a be_v because_o the_o groundwork_n of_o it_o be_v good_a i_o tell_v you_o before_o what_o this_o

3._o the_o soul_n fear_v damnation_n right_o now_o because_o by_o sin_n the_o law_n and_o for_o want_v of_o faith_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o it_o but_o now_o although_o thus_o far_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o godly_a yet_o after_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v reveal_v to_o we_o and_o we_o make_v to_o accept_v of_o he_o
