and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o you_o know_v the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o go_v up_o into_o heaven_n heaven_n 9_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o

they_o shall_v be_v where_o he_o be_v and_o as_o he_o be_v world_n without_o end_n the_o gospel_n tell_v you_o moreover_o that_o all_o this_o love_n covenant_n 12._o god_n covenant_n and_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n here_o and_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v all_o make_v sure_a to_o we_o by_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n sure_a &_o perfect_a in_o every_o point_n

it_o be_v a_o happy_a thing_n if_o we_o do_v full_o understand_v this_o lesson_n and_o full_o believe_v it_o therefore_o that_o it_o may_v sink_v into_o your_o heart_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o all_o

good_a news_n worth_a the_o hear_n belove_a concern_v that_o i_o answer_v but_o in_o two_o word_n answ_n all_o the_o happiness_n of_o this_o world_n consist_v either_o in_o honour_n or_o wealth_n as_o for_o honour_n if_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n if_o you_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n the_o gospel_n bring_v you_o tiding_n that_o whereas_o now_o you_o be_v poor_a people_n that_o no_o body_n care_v
