world_n like_o the_o father_n but_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o father_n too_o a_o father_n that_o be_v a_o man_n of_o spirit_n love_v to_o see_v his_o spirit_n in_o his_o child_n rather_o

therefore_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o spirit_n that_o may_v manifest_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n son_n &_o holy-ghost_n in_o our_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o christian_a indeed_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o christian_a shall_v be_v a_o lion_n like_o spirit_n as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o lion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n so_o he_o be_v call_v so_o we_o shall_v

and_o contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o it_o be_v very_o base_a i_o remember_v that_o the_o heathen_n accoun_v it_o very_o base_a plutarch_n do_v report_n of_o a_o certain_a

they_o have_v such_o effeminate_a spirit_n they_o think_v it_o against_o a_o manlike_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o see_v they_o do_v unman_n themselves_o they_o shall_v go_v as_o woman_n now_o shall_v they_o account_v it_o a_o unmanlike_a spirit_n to_o be_v overmuch_o deject_v in_o affliction_n and_o shall_v not_o a_o christian_a account_n it_o a_o unchristian_a like_o spirit_n to_o be_v overmuch_o

we_o fret_v vex_v and_o murmur_n this_o be_v a_o childish_a spirit_n four_o it_o be_v below_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o christian_a the_o profession_n of_o a_o christian_a what_o be_v that_o a_o

thou_o shall_v ever_o flourish_v in_o the_o world_n be_v thou_o a_o christian_n to_o that_o end_n and_o be_v this_o thy_o faith_n i_o never_o make_v any_o such_o promise_n to_o thou_o when_o thou_o take_v upon_o thou_o to_o be_v a_o christian_n oh_o it_o be_v mighty_a contrary_n to_o thy_o profession_n thou_o have_v never_o a_o promise_n for_o this_o that_o thou_o shall_v not_o have_v such_o a_o affliction_n upon_o thou_o and_o a_o christian_n shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o just_a do_v live_v by_o faith_n now_o thou_o shall_v not_o look_v after_o any_o other_o

and_o then_o why_o shall_v thou_o account_v it_o such_o a_o great_a evil_a to_o be_v under_o such_o a_o affliction_n certain_o that_o good_a that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o ground_n for_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o content_v our_o heart_n here_o and_o to_o all_o eternity_n a_o christian_a shall_v be_v satisfy_v with_o that_o that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o

there_o be_v yet_o another_o thing_n it_o be_v below_o the_o hope_n of_o christian_n oh_o the_o most_o glorious_a thing_n that_o the_o saint_n hope_v for_o and_o against_o the_o help_n that_o
