requite_v the_o god_n of_o grace_n for_o all_o his_o gospel-light_n that_o he_o long_o time_n unto_o thy_o soul_n do_v give_v that_o so_o thou_o may_v repent_v return_v and_o live_v have_v thou_o not_o much_o despise_v his_o proffer_a grace_n have_v thou_o not_o spit_v in_o the_o glorious_a face_n of_o bless_a jesus_n when_o in_o love_n he_o come_v to_o wash_v thou_o from_o thy_o filthiness_n
