they_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o benefit_n and_o amendment_n and_o when_o the_o child_n fall_v on_o his_o knee_n and_o ask_v forgyvenes_n promyse_v amendment_n we_o see_v how_o ready_a and_o willing_n the_o father_n be_v to_o forgive_v now_o sing_v our_o earthly_a father_n be_v so_o love_a to_o their_o child_n much_o more_o god_a our_o heavenlye_a father_n will_v be_v our_o most_o kind_a and_o love_a father_n will_v nourysh_v keep_v and_o defend_v we_o teach_v &_o instruct_v we_o the_o way_n to_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o if_o we_o fall_v into_o any_o errore_fw-la or_o sin_n yet_o for_o christ_n sake_n he_o be_v willing_n to_o forgyve_v we_o and_o although_o he_o punysh_v we_o here_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o he_o doethe_v it_o of_o fatherlye_v love_n that_o he_o bear_v towards_o we_o not_o to_o punyshe_v we_o for_o ever_o but_o to_o amend_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o to_o know_v our_o fault_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o like_o a_o most_o love_a father_n he_o correct_v we_o for_o a_o small_a time_n in_o this_o world_n lest_o he_o shall_v punyshe_v we_o for_o ever_o in_o y_z e_z world_n to_o come_v of_o this_o therefore_o so_o love_a and_o so_o mighty_a a_o father_n we_o may_v well_o rejoice_v and_o have_v a_o exceed_a great_a comfort_n far_o pass_a any_o heart_n to_o think_v or_o tongue_n to_o tell_v and_o he_o again_o we_o ought_v most_o entierlye_o to_o love_v and_o obey_v sing_v that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o have_v load_v we_o with_o so_o many_o gift_n and_o benefit_n with_o glad_a heart_n therefore_o you_o ought_v to_o say_v this_o prayer_n which_o when_o you_o say_v you_o speak_v with_o god_n the_o father_n in_o heaven_n &_o he_o hear_v you_o and_o like_o a_o most_o kind_a father_n
