the_o comfort_n of_o meeting_n with_o his_o people_n common_o call_v quaker_n to_o wait_v on_o god_n forty_o year_n bypass_a and_o such_o that_o wait_v on_o god_n in_o sincerity_n and_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n according_a to_o god_n promise_n shall_v renew_v their_o strength_n for_o the_o power_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v near_o to_o help_v such_o against_o all_o opposition_n
