lord_n of_o time_n have_v draw_v the_o whole_a time_n with_o such_o exactness_n of_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n that_o every_o thing_n be_v in_o its_o own_o place_n season_n and_o time_n and_o as_o

and_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o rest_v round_o about_o he_o finish_v his_o course_n then_o come_v on_o the_o day_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o their_o course_n with_o samuel_n reach_v with_o the_o intervention_n of_o saul_n unto_o david_n who_o serve_v his_o generation_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o the_o line_n come_v down_o to_o john_n baptist_n fulfilfil_v

the_o line_n of_o faith_n and_o service_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o line_n allow_v to_o evil_a man_n in_o their_o wickedness_n and_o in_o their_o enjoyment_n of_o their_o lust_n and_o
