and_o therefore_o want_v of_o trust_n dependency_n be_v always_o very_o respective_a it_o study_v contentment_n and_o care_v to_o comply_v and_o therefore_o he_o that_o commit_v his_o soul_n to_o

at_o the_o beck_n of_o those_o that_o feed_v they_o though_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o fall_v violent_o upon_o other_o disobedience_n therefore_o be_v against_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n god_n can_v convey_v himself_o more_o comfortable_o to_o we_o when_o he_o please_v without_o mean_n than_o by_o mean_n and_o true_a trust_n as_o it_o set_v god_n high_a in_o the_o soul_n so_o in_o danger_n and_o want_n it_o have_v present_a recourse_n to_o he_o as_o the_o coney_n to_o the_o rock_n patient_o wait_v his_o leisure_n for_o god_n seldom_o make_v any_o promise_n to_o his_o child_n but_o he_o

faith_n rely_v it_o require_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o self-denial_n to_o bring_v a_o soul_n either_o swell_v with_o carnal_a confidence_n or_o sink_v by_o fear_n and_o distrust_n to_o lie_v level_n
