this_o hope_n give_v such_o confidence_n that_o death_n can_v overcome_v it_o because_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v although_o he_o shall_v kill_v i_o yet_o i_o will_v hope_v in_o he_o why_o then_o

against_o all_o worldly_a fear_n and_o these_o ensue_a danger_n but_o by_o rely_v on_o the_o hope_n of_o future_a blessing_n which_o god_n if_o we_o fight_v and_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n have_v

of_o some_o small_a persecution_n if_o we_o hope_v hereafter_o to_o be_v number_v among_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o shall_v and_o have_v our_o lot_n among_o the_o saint_n why_o shall_v we_o now_o fear_v to_o be_v revile_v of_o man_n or_o be_v repute_v ignominious_a as_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v if_o they_o have_v so_o will_v they_o do_v you_o also_o

therefore_o we_o must_v with_o the_o apostle_n rejoice_v as_o you_o read_v in_o the_o act_n they_o do_v because_o they_o be_v account_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v contumely_n and_o reproach_n if_o
