inward_a mean_n so_o for_o the_o outward_a mean_n by_o his_o spiritual_a providence_n he_o afford_v unto_o some_o more_o and_o great_a mean_n and_o a_o long_a time_n to_o other_o less_a he_o also_o

speak_v well_o of_o why_o holy_a person_n holy_a soul_n the_o saint_n that_o do_v express_v the_o power_n of_o grace_n in_o their_o life_n and_o for_o a_o wise_a apostle_n tell_v i_o where_o paul_n

here_o be_v a_o admirable_a spirit_n indeed_o and_o certain_o herein_o do_v this_o bless_a child_n of_o god_n shine_v out_o most_o cheer_o in_o that_o she_o labour_v to_o avoid_v all_o fin_n and_o

unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n though_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v much_o experience_n in_o matter_n of_o prosperity_n yet_o she_o have_v have_v also_o great_a
