for_o we_o to_o aim_v at_o for_o this_o very_a end_n and_o purpose_n that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v miss_v it_o can_v he_o that_o be_v the_o faithful_a and_o true_a god_n put_v such_o a_o trick_n

by_o the_o clear_a discovery_n of_o his_o truth_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n or_o else_o he_o will_v at_o last_o chain_n it_o in_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n to_o all_o eternity_n and_o make_v the_o

of_o promise_n dishearten_v and_o discourage_v we_o but_o let_v we_o go_v on_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o his_o strength_n and_o exercise_v our_o faith_n in_o this_o not_o only_o that_o we_o

never_o account_v those_o true_o holy_a that_o be_v true_o wicked_a and_o bond_n slave_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n now_o this_o can_v never_o make_v we_o happy_a to_o be_v free_v only_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n we_o can_v never_o be_v happy_a till_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n himself_o till_o we_o have_v the_o same_o mind_n and_o life_n in_o we_o that_o
