this_o rule_n be_v this_o because_o that_o some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v thus_o reason_n i_o must_v be_v thus_o and_o thus_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n and_o i_o must_v have_v such_o a_o

other_o man_n do_v so_o and_o what_o shall_v not_o i_o do_v so_o shall_v not_o i_o lie_v so_o low_a shall_v not_o i_o be_v so_o humble_v for_o sin_n as_o i_o see_v other_o be_v i_o have_v as_o many_o

which_o other_o can_n that_o ballaste_n will_v but_o serve_v a_o ship_n will_v overload_v a_o little_a boat_n therefore_o do_v not_o reason_n thus_o with_o thyself_o to_o compare_v thy_o cast_n down_o for_o sin_n with_o other_o lest_o thou_o do_v cast_v thyself_o too_o low_o for_o sin_n other_o man_n it_o may_v be_v do_v contract_v more_o sin_n than_o thou_o do_v and_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v

though_o duty_n merit_v not_o comfort_n yet_o they_o usual_o rise_v and_o fall_v with_o our_o diligence_n in_o duty_n i_o may_v illustrate_v this_o by_o a_o familiar_a comparison_n there_o be_v you_o
