too_o for_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v dead_a so_o as_o that_o it_o be_v never_o quicken_v it_o be_v true_a god_n child_n complain_v many_o time_n how_o dead_a their_o heart_n be_v and_o what_o great_a

it_o seem_v therefore_o that_o god_n fail_v of_o his_o promise_n thirty_o year_n ans_fw-fr no_o god_n forbid_v that_o we_o shall_v think_v so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o but_o one_o

abraham_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o unusual_a thing_n among_o we_o to_o swallow_v up_o a_o lesser_a number_n in_o a_o great_a as_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v you_o how_o old_a you_o be_v you_o say_v so_o many_o year_n and_o though_o there_o be_v some_o odd_a week_n or_o month_n you_o omit_v they_o put_v the_o great_a number_n for_o all_o so_o the_o thirty_o year_n be_v to_o be_v

and_o he_o can_v die_v he_o can_v love_v his_o enemy_n he_o can_v gain_v by_o loss_n he_o can_v prevail_v with_o god_n etc._n etc._n 10._o that_o a_o poor_a creature_n shall_v come_v to_o know_v
