easy_a and_o that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o treat_v he_o have_v appoint_v anaxanacton_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n between_o he_o and_o they_o who_o to_o assure_v they_o of_o his_o best_a assistance_n

for_o my_o happiness_n i_o do_v ever_o make_v my_o humble_a prayer_n to_o god_n as_o a_o most_o merciful_a power_n but_o i_o know_v not_o till_o now_o which_o way_n he_o will_v express_v his_o

i_o will_v tell_v you_o say_v bentivolio_n this_o most_o worthy_a mediator_n obtain_v that_o man_n shall_v neither_o be_v deny_v the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n nor_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o

that_o sinner_n shall_v repent_v for_o it_o be_v most_o irrational_a to_o sin_n all_o disobedience_n be_v root_v in_o folly_n and_o ingratitude_n but_o that_o god_n will_v pardon_v disingenuous_a
