of_o his_o fatherly_a love_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v with_o the_o patience_n of_o child_n to_o bear_v it_o second_o while_o god_n out_o of_o his_o love_n continue_v the_o burden_n of_o this_o

all_o other_o reason_n &_o of_o force_n to_o make_v a_o man_n patient_a even_o in_o the_o fire_n namely_o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o christ_n we_o shall_v reign_v with_o christ_n and_o when_o
