such_o a_o one_o again_o in_o all_o his_o day_n ah_o now_o how_o shall_v thou_o improve_v his_o grace_n whilst_o thou_o have_v he_o how_o shall_v thou_o suck_v experience_n from_o he_o how_o soon_o he_o may_v be_v remove_v from_o thou_o or_o thou_o from_o he_o thou_o know_v not_o providence_n that_o lend_v thou_o he_o and_o his_o grace_n for_o a_o while_n may_v carry_v he_o from_o thou_o to_o another_o place_n and_o then_o thou_o lose_v thou_o know_v not_o what_o ah_o how_o will_v the_o loss_n of_o such_o a_o opportunity_n afterward_o damp_n the_o spirit_n thus_o faelix_fw-la whilst_o paul_n be_v in_o prison_n enjoy_v a_o rich_a opportunity_n he_o have_v a_o rich_a jewel_n in_o the_o casket_n of_o opportunity_n ah_o what_o a_o improvement_n might_n faelix_fw-la have_v make_v of_o

first_o part_n 2_o there_o be_v opportunity_n of_o do_v good_a which_o if_o we_o neglect_v i_o may_v never_o have_v the_o like_a again_o 1_o when_o you_o be_v travel_v and_o fall_v in_o upon_o the_o way_n with_o a_o man_n you_o never_o see_v before_o and_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o never_o shall_v see_v again_o here_o be_v a_o opportunity_n for_o thou_o to_o do_v his_o soul_n good_a to_o drop_v heaven_n into_o his_o soul_n which_o season_n thou_o may_v hever_o have_v again_o to_o season_v he_o with_o a_o word_n of_o grace_n thus_o philip_n fall_v in_o with_o the_o eunuch_n whilst_o he_o be_v

he_o who_o he_o never_o see_v before_o nor_o ever_o after_o see_v again_o 2_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o office_n for_o a_o time_n it_o may_v be_v but_o one_o year_n thou_o be_v clothe_v with_o

before_o thou_o lie_v down_o thy_o office_n if_o not_o yet_o annual_a office_n expire_v and_o fall_v off_o of_o themselves_o and_o when_o thy_o authority_n be_v go_v thy_o opportunity_n be_v go_v as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o sword_n or_o a_o staff_n in_o his_o hand_n if_o his_o staff_n be_v wrench_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v lose_v his_o opportunity_n to_o soil_n his_o enemy_n so_o it_o be_v when_o the_o staff_n of_o authority_n be_v pass_v out_o of_o thy_o hand_n unto_o another_o thy_o time_n be_v go_v faelix_fw-la whilst_o he_o be_v in_o office_n be_v marry_v unto_o a_o gallant_a opportunity_n to_o release_n paul_n out_o of_o prison_n but_o he_o do_v not_o husband_n the_o opportunity_n and_o he_o be_v divorce_v from_o it_o for_o ever_o 27._o act._n 24._o 27._o for_o

a_o man_n be_v die_v upon_o his_o deathbed_n there_o you_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o do_v his_o soul_n good_a which_o you_o shall_v never_o have_v again_o thus_o christ_n drop_v in_o grace_n and_o good_a counsel_n into_o the_o thief_n upon_o cross_n the_o cross_n be_v his_o death-bed_n which_o have_v it_o be_v omit_v the_o thief_n soul_n have_v be_v lose_v within_o a_o few_o hour_n for_o ever_o and_o the_o opportunity_n go_v too_o 4_o so_o when_o a_o friend_n be_v in_o affliction_n than_o thou_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o strike_v whilst_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a to_o humble_v he_o while_o he_o be_v humble_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o season_n to_o he_o while_o his_o heart_n be_v season_v and_o melt_v as_o the_o jew_n and_o those_o eastern_a people_n do_v plough_n and_o sow_v their_o ground_n when_o the_o former_a rain_n have_v soften_v it_o ah_o sow_n then_o for_o now_o be_v the_o opportunity_n i_o say_v sow_v the_o seed_n of_o instruction_n upon_o a_o sinner_n heart_n while_o the_o former_a or_o latter_a rain_n of_o affliction_n fall_v upon_o he_o it_o be_v a_o soften_a time_n a_o melt_a time_n while_o the_o rain_n drop_n the_o earth_n be_v soft_a he_o that_o

providence_n cast_v into_o a_o family_n he_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o distil_v shower_n and_o drop_v divine_a influence_n whilst_o like_o a_o star_n he_o be_v fix_v there_o which_o if_o he_o omit_v he_o may_v never_o have_v the_o like_a again_o thus_o paul_n be_v in_o the_o jailor_n family_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o he_o
