sweet_a saviour_n that_o in_o he_o be_v nothing_o but_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n and_o compassion_n and_o kindness_n to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o in_o grievous_a fear_n and_o agony_n from_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o wrath_n and_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n work_v in_o they_o and_o we_o must_v believe_v christ_n to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o gospel_n represent_v he_o that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o he_o with_o comfort_n and_o put_v our_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o in_o all_o time_n of_o sin_n and_o sorrow_n and_o in_o all_o hour_n of_o darkness_n and_o temptation_n and_o let_v we_o never_o entertain_v any_o other_o thought_n of_o christ_n then_o these_o but_o let_v we_o hold_v he_o unchangeable_o for_o such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v he_o what_o ever_o the_o law_n or_o our_o evil_a conscience_n or_o the_o devil_n shall_v suggest_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o then_o in_o all_o our_o distress_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o christ_n as_o of_o a_o severe_a lawgiver_n and_o a_o unexorable_a judge_n but_o may_v run_v to_o he_o as_o to_o our_o merciful_a and_o powerful_a saviour_n who_o proper_a

and_o christ_n word_n do_v always_o go_v together_o together_o christ_n work_n and_o word_n go_v always_o together_o christ_n life_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o christ_n doctrine_n and_o his_o
