of_o in_o isaack_n time_n who_o receive_v so_o much_o increase_v 26.12_o gen._n 26.12_o so_o it_o be_v with_o convert_v christian_n before_o they_o be_v under_o any_o gracious_a mean_n or_o in_o a_o

than_o they_o increase_v and_o grow_v up_o and_o multiply_v they_o revive_v like_o the_o corne._n and_o then_o again_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o corn_n though_o it_o seem_v to_o die_v and_o do_v indeed_o die_v in_o some_o sort_n cover_v with_o winter_n storm_n ere_o it_o spring_v out_o from_o the_o oppression_n of_o frost_n and_o snow_n and_o hard_a weather_n as_o if_o it_o be_v altogether_o

soul_n under_o the_o hard_a pressure_n of_o all_o weather_n to_o a_o glorious_a spring_v up_o again_o therefore_o the_o church_n have_v no_o hurt_n by_o affliction_n no_o more_o than_o the_o corn_n have_v by_o the_o winter_n which_o be_v as_o necessary_a for_o it_o as_o the_o spring-time_n or_o summer_n for_o else_o how_o shall_v the_o earth_n be_v ripen_v and_o prepare_v how_o shall_v the_o

such_o and_o such_o thing_n befall_v they_o they_o conclude_v hence_o as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v god_n have_v forsake_v he_o and_o forget_v he_o 11._o psa_fw-la 71_o 11._o and_o as_o christ_n the_o

of_o god_n be_v work_v a_o excellent_a work_n in_o they_o prepare_v and_o fit_v they_o for_o grace_n and_o glory_n therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o they_o shall_v revive_v as_o the_o corne._n
