a_o second_o motive_n to_o beware_v oâ—_n this_o dreadful_a wrath_n be_v this_o because_o if_o once_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v up_o as_o there_o be_v no_o ransom_n so_o no_o power_n in_o the_o

that_o you_o can_v satisfy_v they_o with_o a_o ransom_n and_o so_o powerful_a that_o no_o strength_n can_v deliver_v you_o from_o their_o power_n yet_o possible_o you_o may_v make_v a_o escape_n and_o
