That true beleevers, how weake soever in faith, should not be opprest, or perplext in heart; by any thing whatever befalls them; either in sinne, or afflictions.

which_o they_o have_v not_o of_o old_a that_o yet_o we_o do_v it_o not_o you_o do_v he_o else_o you_o slight_v he_o and_o god_n mercy_n in_o g●ving_v he_o slight_a he_o &_o god_n mercy_n in_o give_v

this_o indeed_o be_v to_o honour_v the_o son_n as_o you_o do_v the_o father_n john_n 5._o 23._o that_o whereas_o before_o christ_n his_o come_n the_o father_n be_v believe_v in_o now_o the_o son_n
