cause_n in_o many_o be_v that_o their_o heart_n be_v â—ngaged_v upon_o such_o perplex_a and_o intricate_a project_n about_o profit_n or_o pleasure_n or_o greatness_n in_o the_o world_n that_o they_o

in_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n there_o be_v such_o a_o incurable_a inconsideration_n that_o no_o warning_n from_o the_o word_n or_o work_n of_o god_n no_o experience_n of_o their_o own_o or_o other_o
