other_o to_o seek_v for_o help_v 13_o thus_o we_o have_v see_v the_o quality_n of_o man_n day_n how_o they_o be_v sharp_a the_o second_o general_a point_n note_v the_o quantity_n of_o our_o day_n that_o they_o be_v short_a in_o these_o word_n be_v not_o his_o day_n as_o the_o day_n of_o a_o hireling_n the_o christian_n crown_n of_o glory_n after_o warfare_n be_v not_o his_o day_n as_o the_o
