have_v do_v enough_o and_o enough_o my_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o god_n and_o not_o once_o assay_v to_o come_v near_o unto_o he_o here_o i_o will_v ask_v a_o question_n of_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n young_a and_o old_a i_o will_v ask_v you_o for_o no_o harm_n be_v not_o this_o your_o religion_n i_o mean_v to_o say_v your_o prayer_n to_o hear_v service_n i_o will_v not_o put_v in_o

apply_v himself_o unto_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o faith_n which_o be_v two_o god_n and_o god_n word_n how_o shall_v he_o apply_v himself_o unto_o god_n by_o very_o often_o humble_a and_o earnest_a

himself_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o dwell_v at_o berea_n who_o when_o s._n paul_n preach_v unto_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o all_o
