second_o what_o experience_n you_o have_v have_v of_o the_o evil_a of_o suffer_v by_o it_o in_o three_o particular_n 1_o the_o frustration_n of_o your_o hope_n how_o often_o have_v you_o promise_v

and_o a_o bitter_a thing_n you_o have_v sometime_o find_v it_o to_o seek_v yourselves_o in_o a_o sinful_a way_n that_o you_o may_v tremble_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o do_v the_o like_a for_o time_n to_o come_v as_o long_o as_o you_o live_v keep_v in_o remembrance_n 2_o the_o experience_n you_o have_v have_v of_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n whereby_o you_o have_v be_v draw_v to_o it_o we_o be_v
