because_o of_o the_o furious_a rage_n of_o the_o enemy_n which_o be_v and_o may_v be_v exceed_o great_a but_o that_o we_o may_v all_o wait_v upon_o the_o god_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o receive_v

know_v that_o the_o fleshly_a part_n be_v weak_a and_o can_v stand_v in_o the_o trial._n but_o this_o i_o know_v and_o be_o persuade_v of_o in_o the_o holy_a fear_n of_o god_n that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v be_v make_v manifest_a in_o weakness_n that_o his_o power_n may_v be_v magnify_v over_o all_o for_o this_o i_o know_v asured_o god_n do_v not_o regard_v the_o strength_n wisdom_n and_o part_n nor_o ability_n of_o none_o of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o the_o weak_a and_o feeble_a of_o his_o own_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o to_o hold_v forth_o his_o hand_n of_o power_n to_o help_v the_o helpless_a and_o this_o i_o be_o persuade_v and_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o counsel_n that_o the_o simplicity_n and_o lowliness_n of_o his_o own_o seed_n he_o have_v a_o special_a regard_n unto_o which_o lowliness_n and_o simplicity_n bring_v into_o uprightness_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o wait_v upon_o he_o in_o all_o faithfulness_n with_o the_o eye_n single_a unto_o he_o and_o that_o man_n and_o woman_n shall_v not_o want_v strength_n in_o the_o time_n of_o need_n to_o witness_v for_o god_n if_o it_o

be_v require_v of_o they_o even_o to_o lay_v down_o their_o dear_a life_n for_o a_o testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n which_o they_o witness_v god_n have_v make_v they_o partaker_n of_o let_v their_o measure_n be_v never_o so_o small_a for_o that_o be_v it_o which_o the_o lord_n look_v at_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o own_o seed_n though_o it_o be_v but_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n i_o say_v that_o be_v it_o which_o the_o lord_n god_n look_v at_o be_v it_o less_o or_o more_o in_o each_o particular_a the_o gift_n of_o himself_o but_o where_o much_o be_v give_v much_o be_v require_v
