it_o be_v clear_a enough_o that_o even_o holy_a and_o precious_a soul_n may_v be_v and_o sometime_o be_v cast_v down_o and_o disquiet_v and_o if_o you_o now_o will_v know_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o

in_o its_o pardon_n and_o to_o every_o grace_n in_o its_o supply_n the_o soul_n be_v apt_a to_o limit_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n it_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v there_o be_v some_o sin_n unto_o
