may_v get_v this_o holy_a fear_n of_o god_n as_o also_o how_o you_o may_v grow_v up_o in_o this_o grace_n more_o and_o more_o i_o be_o loath_a by_o reason_n the_o time_n be_v almost_o spend_v to_o

unto_o we_o in_o the_o plenty_n of_o his_o blessing_n we_o need_v no_o more_o doubt_n whether_o our_o soul_n do_v grow_v in_o this_o grace_n if_o we_o can_v bring_v constant_a affection_n to_o the_o mean_n then_o we_o need_v whether_o the_o body_n of_o our_o child_n will_v grow_v if_o they_o have_v good_a nurse_n and_o do_v suck_v the_o breast_n well_o to_o this_o purpose_n tend_v such_o scripture_n as_o these_o isa_n 64_o 5_o thou_o meet_v he_o that_o rejoice_v and_o work_v righteousness_n those_o that_o remember_v thou_o in_o thy_o way_n those_o that_o remember_v thou_o in_o thy_o
