This works:

Clear[y]
sol4 = NDSolve[{eqn4, y[0] == 0, y'[0] == 1}, y, {t, 0, 70},
    WorkingPrecision -> 20, MaxStepSize -> 0.01];
y = y /. First@sol4;
Plot[{y[t], y'[t], y''[t]}, {t, 0, 70}, PlotRange -> All,
  PlotPoints -> 100]

PlotPoints had to be increased. Eliminating Evaluate and /.soln4 in the  
plot was mostly for style.
