no_o eye_n have_v see_v no_o ear_n have_v hear_v no_o heart_n can_v conceive_v nor_o tongue_n can_v utter_v but_o by_o they_o so_o well_o sort_v with_o our_o nature_n to_o give_v we_o some_o sight_n

simple_o every_o labour_n but_o such_o a_o labour_n as_o be_v sore_o and_o have_v join_v with_o it_o toil_a of_o the_o body_n and_o moil_a of_o the_o mind_n with_o cark_n and_o care_n yea_o and_o weariness_n both_o of_o body_n and_o mind_n join_v with_o it_o as_o a_o effect_n flow_v from_o it_o and_o that_o cause_v some_o also_o to_o turn_v it_o thus_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v

it_o arise_v and_o conflict_n of_o conscience_n be_v no_o small_a pain_n but_o a_o great_a and_o grievous_a sorrow_n enter_v deep_a into_o the_o soul_n disquiet_v the_o spirit_n distemper_a the_o body_n and_o make_v all_o part_n and_o power_n unfit_a for_o all_o or_o any_o duty_n almost_o and_o this_o to_o be_v true_a the_o scripture_n elsewhere_o show_v it_o and_o namely_o prou._n 18._o where_o it_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n may_v endure_v his_o infirmity_n but_o a_o wound_a spirit_n who_o shall_v bear_v it_o and_o our_o own_o experience_n can_v witness_v it_o if_o either_o we_o have_v be_v humble_v ourselves_o or_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o other_o man_n sorrow_n that_o way_n in_o who_o it_o have_v take_v away_o for_o the_o time_n sleep_n from_o the_o eye_n hear_v from_o the_o ear_n speech_n from_o the_o mouth_n appetite_n from_o the_o stomach_n nay_o i_o will_v say_v more_o it_o have_v cause_v some_o to_o assay_v the_o finish_n of_o their_o pain_n as_o they_o

for_o they_o will_v doubtless_o make_v his_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o appear_v in_o their_o weakness_n that_o other_o word_n heavy_a lade_v be_v metaphorical_a also_o and_o translate_v from_o

feel_v they_o not_o than_o any_o outward_a do_v or_o can_v upon_o the_o body_n yea_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v press_v therewithal_o unto_o death_n because_o that_o only_o reach_v unto_o the_o

the_o soul_n almost_o to_o find_v no_o grief_n as_o in_o the_o martyr_n that_o have_v be_v so_o many_o way_n and_o so_o grievous_o torment_v may_v and_o do_v appear_v but_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v

and_o diverse_a kind_n of_o disease_n some_o recoverable_a and_o some_o unrecoverable_a and_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o much_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o sin_n itself_o be_v compare_v unto_o a_o burden_n which_o may_v in_o part_n appear_v not_o only_o by_o this_o when_o the_o prophet_n call_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v fall_v upon_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n burden_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v some_o proportion_n between_o the_o iniquity_n they_o have_v commit_v &_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v execute_v upon_o they_o for_o it_o but_o also_o by_o a_o plain_a
