action_n our_o thankfulness_n otherwise_o than_o we_o do_v now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o next_o argument_n which_o move_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v thankful_a he_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

to_o satan_n what_o goodness_n then_o can_v god_n see_v in_o any_o of_o we_o except_o he_o put_v it_o into_o we_o and_o what_o can_v move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o one_o more_o than_o

with_o his_o own_o mouth_n that_o he_o will_v use_v my_o ministry_n and_o declare_v that_o where_o i_o be_v unfaithful_a before_o he_o account_v i_o faithful_a he_o account_v more_o of_o i_o than_o

here_o you_o see_v that_o as_o before_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n that_o he_o find_v so_o here_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o that_o exceed_a mercy_n utter_v in_o forgive_a he_o his_o sin_n and_o in_o call_v he_o to_o be_v a_o apostle_n hence_o we_o perceive_v brethren_n that_o no_o man_n will_v ever_o account_v of_o jesus_n christ_n except_o he_o first_o find_v that_o

a_o love_n as_o christ_n jesus_n carry_v unto_o we_o unworthy_a wretch_n for_o when_o we_o be_v vile_a &_o wretched_a sinner_n ever_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o procure_v his_o wrath_n the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o infinite_a deepness_n of_o his_o love_n cover_v our_o sin_n and_o hide_v our_o iniquity_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o beesâ—ene_v by_o god_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v once_o extend_v the_o mantle_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n upon_o his_o choose_a child_n then_o albeit_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o
