A58733	The Second part of The pilgrims progress from this present world of wickedness and misery to an eternity of holiness and felicity : exactly described under the similitude of a dream, relating the manner and occasion of his setting out from, and difficult and dangerous journey through the world, and safe arrival at last to eternal happiness.

have_v mercy_n on_o thou_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o redeemer_n and_o the_o covenant_n between_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n shall_v no_o more_o go_v over_o the_o earth_n so_o

wherefore_o be_v thou_o afflict_v toss_v with_o tempest_n and_o not_o comfort_v behold_v i_o will_v lay_v thy_o stone_n with_o fair_a colour_n and_o thy_o foundation_n with_o saphire_n and_o now_o
