my_o discourse_n all_o that_o may_v be_v say_v to_o manifest_v this_o truth_n unto_o you_o may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o those_o few_o line_n with_o which_o i_o conclude_v my_o former_a sermon_n on_o this_o text_n true_a faith_n root_n all_o fear_n out_o of_o a_o christian_n heart_n and_o turn_v all_o his_o expectation_n into_o hope_n even_o through_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o persuasion_n that_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o good_a to_o they_o that_o love_v god_n and_o also_o that_o himself_o be_v one_o of_o they_o i_o have_v now_o finish_v the_o doctrine_n i_o raise_v from_o this_o text_n that_o faith_n enable_v a_o man_n to_o draw_v comfort_n from_o all_o the_o object_n of_o his_o thought_n have_v show_v you_o particular_o how_o the_o faithful_a take_v comfort_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o concern_v themselves_o from_o whence_o as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n of_o my_o former_a sermon_n you_o may_v easy_o apprehend_v how_o they_o may_v also_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o the_o notice_n they_o take_v of_o other_o thing_n as_o of_o all_o those_o work_n of_o providence_n which_o they_o see_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n
