as_o do_v upon_o vzzah_n discourage_v many_o &_o weaken_v their_o hand_n so_o by_o their_o untowardnes_n they_o cause_v the_o savour_n of_o the_o lord_n work_v to_o stink_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o

he_o have_v stand_v in_o integrity_n without_o swerve_v and_o leaninge_n to_o antichristian_a pride_n and_o bitterness_n and_o for_o i_o to_o make_v mention_n thereof_o may_v seem_v very_o hard_o
