many_o to_o heaven_n when_o prosperity_n have_v coach_v more_o to_o hell_n let_v we_o leave_v off_o with_o child_n only_o to_o desire_v pleasant_a thing_n and_o grow_v into_o man_n in_o christ_n let_v

a_o man_n and_o make_v he_o look_v downward_o with_o the_o beast_n from_o the_o maker_n to_o thing_n make_v but_o it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o unhood_v ourselves_o as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v from_o
