much_o burden_v and_o much_o endanger_v with_o natural_a corruption_n the_o apostle_n paul_n though_o regenerate_v find_v much_o of_o the_o rebellion_n of_o a_o evil_a nature_n of_o which_o he_o

our_o state_n in_o this_o world_n at_o best_a be_v but_o a_o wretched_a state_n for_o though_o a_o little_a grace_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v so_o over-matched_n with_o a_o great_a body_n of_o

when_o one_o pull_v one_o way_n tother_o pull_v strong_a still_o the_o wrong_a way_n to_o see_v two_o dog_n couple_v a_o little_a one_o and_o a_o great_a one_o what_o a_o woeful_a condition_n be_v
