be_v all-sufficient_a now_o be_v this_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v sufficiency_n in_o himself_o elshaddai_a to_o be_v god_n have_v sufficiency_n in_o himself_o now_o thou_o come_v near_o to_o this_o thou_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n as_o by_o grace_n in_o general_a so_o in_o a_o more_o peculiar_a manner_n by_o this_o grace_n of_o christian_a

cross_n to_o be_v but_o little_a but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o make_v the_o mercy_n to_o be_v great_a as_o thus_o if_o there_o be_v a_o cross_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n prevail_v in_o the_o heart_n such_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n will_v wonder_v that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a and_o will_v bless_v god_n that_o though_o there_o be_v such_o a_o cross_n yet_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mercy_n wonder_n at_o god_n goodness_n that_o god_n grant_v so_o great_a a_o mercy_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n extenuate_v evil_n and_o cross_n and_o do_v magnify_v and_o amplify_v all_o mercy_n and_o make_v all_o mercy_n seem_v to_o be_v great_a and_o all_o affliction_n seem_v to_o be_v little_a but_o say_v he_o the_o devil_n go_v quite_o contrary_a the_o rhetoric_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v quite_o otherwise_o he_o do_v lessen_v god_n mercy_n and_o amplify_v evil_a thing_n as_o thus_o a_o godly_a man_n wonder_n at_o his_o cross_n that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o wicked_a man_n wonder_v his_o cross_n be_v so_o much_o oh_o say_v he_o none_o be_v ever_o so_o afflict_v as_o i_o be_o if_o there_o be_v a_o cross_n the_o devil_n put_v the_o soul_n upon_o muse_v on_o it_o and_o make_v it_o great_a than_o it_o be_v and_o so_o it_o bring_v discontent_a and_o then_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o there_o be_v a_o mercy_n then_o it_o be_v the_o rhetoric_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o lessen_v the_o mercy_n i_o indeed_o say_v he_o the_o thing_n be_v a_o good_a thing_n but_o what_o be_v it_o it_o be_v no_o
