the_o lord_n speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n way_n of_o speak_v in_o that_o he_o so_o near_o join_v his_o come_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n with_o that_o last_o judgement_n like_o that_o of_o his_o

one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o by_o all_o this_o we_o plain_o see_v that_o the_o eternal_a life_n give_v the_o believer_n be_v they_o no_o long_o than_o they_o persist_v in_o their_o

and_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v to_o you_o that_o if_o we_o be_v regenerate_v so_o as_o our_o will_n be_v bring_v over_o into_o a_o entire_a resignation_n of_o ourselves_o to_o god_n and_o

that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o evil_a day_n so_o whilst_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o obedience_n the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o

of_o ignorance_n and_o too_o often_o overtake_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o negligence_n and_o sometime_o overtake_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o surprisal_n therefore_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 9_o v._n if_o we_o
