glorious_a power_n be_v requisite_a to_o perfect_v this_o grace_n which_o argue_v this_o to_o be_v so_o difficult_a a_o exercise_n above_o any_o other_o and_o that_o our_o nature_n be_v infinite_o

therefore_o be_v great_a upon_o god_n for_o this_o perfect_a work_n of_o patience_n and_o yet_o your_o encouragement_n be_v great_a for_o as_o it_o must_v be_v that_o if_o god_n will_v please_v to_o
