of_o all_o these_o thing_n also_o that_o concern_v either_o body_n or_o mind_n that_o we_o may_v thus_o learn_v to_o depend_v upon_o he_o full_o and_o whole_o and_o in_o all_o thing_n 37.5.7_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v want_v to_o we_o to_o fly_v to_o he_o not_o to_o trust_v in_o ourselves_o or_o in_o man_n or_o in_o any_o arm_n of_o flesh_n whatsoever_o what_o say_v you_o to_o my_o second_o

contain_v in_o this_o yet_o have_v the_o lord_n set_v this_o before_o they_o not_o without_o cause_n even_o to_o relieve_v thereby_o our_o infirmity_n which_o do_v not_o so_o easy_o &_o quick_o

themselves_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o mind_n be_v to_o go_v before_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o body_n thing_n &_o so_o no_o doubt_n will_v our_o saviour_n have_v set_v they_o if_o he_o have_v

draw_v we_o to_o the_o less_o know_v from_o the_o easy_a to_o the_o hard_a and_o from_o the_o earthly_a to_o the_o heavenly_a like_o a_o good_a teacher_n that_o wish_v the_o profit_n of_o his_o
