to_o sleep_v that_o be_v the_o slothful_a man_n guise_n and_o as_o the_o door_n turn_v upon_o the_o hinge_n up_o and_o down_o so_o the_o slothful_a man_n do_v upon_o his_o bed_n labour_n and_o pain_n

be_v one_o cause_n if_o we_o have_v opportunity_n in_o our_o hand_n to_o do_v good_a and_o we_o do_v it_o not_o as_o the_o apostle_n 30_o exhort_v we_o to_o do_v we_o be_v slothful_a a_o man_n that_o
