father_n belove_a son_n in_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v trust_v whole_o and_o only_o on_o his_o merit_n which_o be_v of_o infinite_a value_n sufficient_a to_o justify_v thou_o before_o god_n 2_o

which_o endure_v unto_o life_n eternal_a you_o must_v take_v pain_n for_o this_o outward_a perish_a food_n but_o chief_o take_v your_o great_a pain_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o heavenly_a grace_n
