still_o with_o their_o comfort_n bid_v he_o not_o fear_v for_o as_o sure_a as_o the_o lord_n live_v who_o never_o forsake_v his_o in_o their_o most_o need_n the_o spirit_n will_v come_v again_o yet_o ere_o he_o die_v and_o because_o they_o be_v most_o sure_a of_o it_o ground_v themselves_o upon_o god_n promise_n which_o never_o fail_v therefore_o they_o entreat_v he_o that_o when_o it_o come_v
