for_o the_o second_o thing_n how_o faith_n do_v put_v forth_o itself_o or_o help_v the_o soul_n to_o wait_v upon_o god_n 3_o why_o a_o soul_n be_v to_o expect_v mercy_n in_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n or_o be_v to_o live_v believe_v in_o his_o expectation_n 1_o one_o reason_n be_v because_o our_o expectation_n of_o mercy_n it_o must_v always_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o promise_n or_o otherwise_o our_o expectation_n be_v nothing_o in_o vain_a do_v we_o expect_v that_o which_o god_n have_v not_o promise_v to_o give_v if_o it_o must_v be_v ground_v upon_o a_o promise_n always_o than_o i_o must_v live_v by_o faith_n even_o in_o my_o expectation_n because_o without_o faith_n there_o be_v no_o take_v hold_n of_o the_o promise_n neither_o can_v he_o close_v with_o the_o promise_n and_o in_o his_o expectation_n he_o must_v take_v hold_v on_o the_o promise_n or_o else_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a second_o he_o must_v live_v by_o faith_n in_o his_o expectation_n or_o else_o he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o long_o in_o his_o expectation_n where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n there_o the_o soul_n die_v that_o soul_n that_o do_v not_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n that_o soul_n die_v and_o can_v hold_v out_o long_o and_o so_o tâ—res_v and_o can_v wait_v long_o wait_v be_v a_o long_a and_o hard_a work_n faith_n be_v our_o strength_n and_o if_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o go_v through_o this_o hard_a work_n a_o horse_n that_o want_v mettle_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o put_v he_o to_o hard_a service_n he_o will_v not_o hold_v out_o faith_n be_v the_o mettle_n of_o the_o soul_n if_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n we_o can_v hold_v out_o in_o our_o wait_n upon_o god_n 3_o again_o we_o must_v live_v by_o faith_n in_o our_o expectation_n because_o otherwise_o though_o the_o mercy_n shall_v come_v in_o which_o we_o wait_v for_o yet_o if_o it_o do_v come_v in_o and_o not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a to_o a_o soul_n if_o it_o do_v not_o come_v in_o in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v otherwise_o mercy_n believe_v for_o be_v the_o sweet_a mercy_n that_o i_o have_v wait_v for_o in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o sweet_a mercy_n which_o i_o have_v believe_v for_o quest_n 4._o what_o wait_v be_v that_o which_o come_v from_o
