the_o power_n of_o faith_n though_o man_n by_o nature_n bear_v to_o fear_n and_o to_o avoid_v what_o may_v seem_v hurtful_a yet_o that_o fear_n by_o grace_n and_o faith_n may_v be_v convert_v into_o

example_n shall_v invite_v such_o man_n as_o trust_v in_o god_n not_o to_o fear_v what_o he_o only_o can_v prevent_v if_o he_o think_v fit_a and_o though_o a_o fearful_a man_n can_v remove_v a_o molehill_n for_o want_n of_o faith_n much_o less_o mountain_n how_o little_a faith_n then_o have_v we_o when_o the_o noise_n only_o of_o ill_a news_n do_v affright_v our_o unsettle_a soul_n with_o

affliction_n for_o few_o moment_n here_o with_o faithful_a joyful_a thought_n of_o their_o eternal_a happiness_n in_o heaven_n so_o that_o we_o see_v the_o power_n of_o faith_n will_v remove_v the_o great_a terror_n and_o work_v miracle_n when_o man_n dare_v trust_v in_o god_n lord_n give_v i_o grace_n to_o live_v as_o i_o do_v write_v and_o as_o thy_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v indite_v to_o manifest_v thy_o mighty_a mercy_n show_v to_o such_o a_o reprobate_n as_o must_v own_v christ_n doctrine_n to_o suffer_v christ_n doctrine_n be_v with_o patience_n to_o enure_v ourselves_o to_o

for_o those_o who_o can_v love_v he_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o mind_n will_v worship_v and_o adore_v he_o with_o the_o same_o zeal_n and_o will_v obey_v praise_n thank_v pray_v and_o trust_v

nor_o can_v eternal_a bliss_n be_v purchase_v at_o a_o low_a rate_n of_o love_n thus_o god_n expose_v heaven_n to_o entice_v good_a man_n to_o purchase_v at_o the_o market-price_n when_o love_n with_o
