when_o so_o much_o of_o their_o wrath_n be_v go_v forth_o as_o shall_v turn_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n then_o will_v he_o restrain_v the_o remainder_n by_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o

your_o skirt_n with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v call_v by_o your_o name_n and_o from_o that_o day_n shall_v israel_n possess_v their_o own_o land_n in_o peace_n and_o quiet_o sit_v under_o their_o own_o

you_o have_v seeu_fw-fr adversity_n therefore_o you_o little_a flock_n of_o the_o heavenly_a power_n be_v not_o afraid_a nor_o terrify_v because_o of_o your_o adversary_n for_o it_o be_v your_o

press_v forward_o in_o the_o drawing_n and_o overcoming_n of_o the_o heavenly_a love_n that_o the_o eternal_a life_n may_v wrap_v you_o up_o in_o itself_o and_o mould_v you_o into_o the_o nature_n of_o its_o own_o be_v for_o dear_a lamb_n i_o know_v the_o manifold_a temptation_n that_o may_v assault_v you_o in_o such_o a_o day_n of_o trial_n and_o i_o also_o know_v the_o manifold_a mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n to_o overcome_v they_o and_o as_o you_o cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o resign_v up_o all_o into_o his_o will_n the_o appearance_n of_o his_o power_n will_v scatter_v temptation_n and_o drive_v they_o away_o but_o if_o you_o begin_v to_o listen_v to_o the_o enemy_n and_o to_o enter_v into_o thought_n and_o reason_n about_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n than_o a_o veil_n will_v come_v over_o you_o and_o weakness_n will_v seize_v upon_o you_o and_o your_o day_n and_o night_n will_v be_v wearisome_a to_o you_o therefore_o my_o dear_a friend_n keep_v your_o conscience_n clear_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o as_o the_o stream_n of_o his_o live_a water_n have_v purge_v out_o that_o which_o once_o do_v defile_v you_o even_o so_o to_o keep_v yourselves_o unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n for_o you_o be_v to_o give_v up_o all_o in_o the_o freeness_n of_o your_o mind_n and_o the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n and_o where_o all_o be_v give_v up_o in_o cheerfulness_n his_o love_n do_v answer_v the_o giver_n sevenfold_a into_o their_o bosom_n for_o you_o give_v he_o nothing_o but_o his_o own_o and_o why_o shall_v any_o murmur_v when_o he_o

of_o you_o be_v in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o have_v your_o rejoice_v in_o it_o and_o though_o you_o endure_v a_o great_a fight_n of_o affliction_n and_o go_v through_o trial_n and_o

and_o so_o return_v he_o the_o glory_n in_o his_o own_o strength_n by_o which_o you_o be_v preserve_v to_o do_v his_o will_n and_o i_o know_v there_o be_v many_o that_o can_v express_v much_o in_o

you_o dear_a brethren_n who_o stand_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o eternal_a power_n be_v you_o tender_v over_o the_o weak_a and_o cry_a babe_n and_o help_v it_o forward_o with_o a_o arm_n of_o
