now_o my_o brethren_n on_o the_o otherside_n when_o he_o deliver_v they_o and_o show_v they_o mercy_n it_o be_v his_o manner_n to_o exceed_v and_o to_o transcend_v all_o measure_n then_o he_o take_v

such_o mercy_n in_o deliver_v the_o lord_n sometime_o out-dares_a himself_o in_o show_v mercy_n do_v rare_a and_o singular_a and_o extraordinary_a thing_n such_o as_o he_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o do_v at_o other_o time_n such_o as_o his_o people_n be_v not_o able_a to_o express_v as_o david_n speak_v psal_n 106.2_o who_o can_v utter_v the_o great_a and_o mighty_a act_n of_o god_n who_o can_v show_v

his_o heart_n faint_v gen._n 45.26_o so_o god_n sometime_o give_v such_o transcendent_a mercy_n and_o deliverance_n to_o his_o people_n that_o their_o heart_n faint_v within_o they_o they_o have_v not_o strength_n enough_o to_o bear_v the_o sudden_a flush_a of_o joy_n that_o come_v break_v in_o upon_o they_o he_o load_v they_o yea_o over_o load_v they_o with_o benefit_n power_n out_o upon_o

affliction_n and_o distress_n be_v of_o the_o large_a size_n so_o must_v the_o deliverance_n be_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n sometime_o make_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n out_o of_o measure_n great_a because_o their_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n have_v be_v so_o such_o a_o distress_n must_v have_v such_o a_o deliverance_n 2._o when_o god_n deliver_v he_o and_o show_v they_o

at_o the_o point_n to_o sink_v and_o to_o be_v overcome_v in_o their_o affliction_n he_o labour_v to_o revive_v and_o cheer_v they_o up_o again_o with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a revelation_n and_o
