have_v once_o swallow_v this_o camel_n of_o christianity_n need_v not_o strain_n at_o the_o low_a gant_n of_o it_o we_o will_v only_o say_v this_o by_o the_o way_n study_v to_o flee_v comparative_a

pray_v more_o than_o his_o affection_n and_o sometime_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o when_o light_n and_o judgement_n be_v pray_v for_o the_o mortify_n of_o such_o a_o idol_n affection_n as_o it_o be_v enter_v a_o protestation_n against_o the_o grant_n of_o such_o a_o desire_n and_o in_o a_o manner_n say_v lord_n mortify_v not_o such_o a_o lust_n this_o we_o conceive_v be_v the_o case_n and_o

begin_v to_o resolve_v study_v to_o have_v your_o soul_n under_o a_o divine_a impression_n of_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o such_o a_o lust_n as_o likeways_o under_o the_o infinite_a disadvantage_n of_o

conceive_v it_o to_o be_v occasion_v through_o christian_n be_v too_o much_o give_v to_o sloathfulnesse_n and_o that_o woeful_a idol_n of_o self-indulgency_n they_o resolve_v fair_a but_o do_v not_o
