in_o thou_o thou_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o if_o thou_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n in_o thou_o but_o sin_n thou_o be_v also_o a_o liar_n and_o think_v thou_o that_o see_v i_o have_v begin_v to_o translate_v thou_o from_o darkness_n into_o my_o light_n and_o to_o make_v thou_o a_o new_a creature_n think_v thou_o that_o i_o will_v leave_v thou_o until_o i_o have_v do_v my_o work_n in_o thou_o therefore_o my_o belove_a give_v not_o such_o ear_n to_o satan_n or_o thy_o own_o corruption_n as_o to_o take_v their_o testimony_n against_o i_o or_o to_o make_v thou_o think_v that_o my_o pledge_n which_o i_o have_v give_v thou_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o credit_n that_o by_o they_o thou_o shall_v be_v assure_v of_o mercy_n the_o soul_n i_o can_v deny_v o_o lord_n but_o that_o many_o time_n i_o have_v feel_v the_o sweetness_n of_o thy_o heavenly_a consolation_n which_o have_v great_o rejoice_v my_o soul_n but_o alas_o my_o grief_n be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a that_o by_o my_o own_o default_n i_o shall_v now_o be_v deprive_v of_o they_o for_o i_o have_v grieve_v thy_o holy_a spirit_n yea_o i_o have_v do_v what_o i_o can_v to_o quench_v he_o &_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o comforter_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o refresh_v my_o soul_n be_v away_o nor_o can_v i_o feel_v his_o presence_n with_o i_o as_o before_o the_o lord_n because_o i_o be_o not_o change_v
