and_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o apostle_n consolation_n to_o the_o afflict_a thessalonian_o who_o live_v under_o the_o cross_a all_o their_o day_n 1_o thes_n 4.16_o 17_o 18._o v._o

o_o what_o a_o spring_n of_o consolation_n be_v here_o if_o thou_o be_v much_o acquaint_v with_o such_o thought_n i_o dare_v say_v thou_o can_v be_v no_o stranger_n to_o true_a comfort_n oh_o how_o

such_o thought_n have_v a_o twofold_a influence_n on_o assurance_n 1._o by_o way_n of_o motive_n as_o they_o press_v and_o provoke_v the_o heart_n to_o labour_v after_o assurance_n i_o no_o way_n
