if_o we_o fail_v not_o to_o meet_v the_o lord_n we_o can_v by_o his_o grace_n but_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o kingdom_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o all_o that_o

both_o with_o one_o another_o and_o with_o himself_o and_o our_o saviour_n where_o he_o will_v be_v our_o father_n and_o our_o king_n &_o we_o through_o his_o christ_n shall_v be_v his_o child_n and_o

in_o cause_v his_o work_n to_o prosper_v in_o our_o hand_n it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o put_v this_o treasure_n into_o earthen_a vessel_n that_o the_o glory_n may_v be_v his_o not_o we_o respect_n
