if_o this_o joy_n come_v upon_o the_o survey_v of_o our_o charter_n and_o evidence_n it_o be_v sure_a we_o may_v build_v upon_o it_o second_o a_o man_n must_v consider_v if_o he_o have_v as_o yet_o

now_o what_o be_v this_o white_a stone_n the_o athenian_n have_v a_o custom_n when_o malefactor_n be_v accuse_v and_o arraign_v to_o have_v black_a and_o white_a stone_n by_o they_o and_o so_o

it_o be_v counterfeit_n and_o false_a these_o be_v the_o forerunner_n to_o this_o seal_n in_o the_o next_o place_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o follow_v after_o this_o seal_n which_o the_o

which_o must_v be_v overcome_v say_v the_o apostle_n what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v but_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o near_o a_o man_n come_v unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n

after_o such_o a_o enlighten_v a_o man_n must_v now_o think_v that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a journey_n to_o go_v and_o so_o walk_v on_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o that_o a_o long_a time_n the_o
