course_n if_o we_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v at_o any_o time_n take_v we_o need_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o that_o now_o he_o mean_v to_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n more_o full_o

among_o us._n for_o as_o then_o he_o do_v put_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o david_n to_o seek_v unto_o he_o and_o whole_o to_o refer_v himself_o to_o his_o direction_n and_o then_o stir_v up_o the_o

all_o that_o at_o the_o first_o do_v so_o ready_o yield_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o david_n but_o only_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n whereof_o david_n himself_o come_v and_o which_o have_v the_o
