be_v not_o too_o hard_o for_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o holiness_n and_o if_o we_o look_v to_o ourselves_o we_o go_v to_o a_o wrong_a place_n as_o a_o

the_o reason_n why_o many_o a_o poor_a weak_a christian_n walk_v comfortable_o and_o sweet_o when_o many_o a_o old_a slander_n fall_v often_o because_o when_o a_o old_a christian_n have_v get_v a_o

here_o he_o fall_v into_o this_o sin_n and_o that_o sin_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o he_o whereas_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o see_v his_o own_o weakness_n and_o mourn_v under_o it_o seek_v earnest_o to_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o his_o heart_n and_o that_o he_o will_v strengthen_v he_o with_o his_o grace_n and_o this_o man_n walk_v cheerful_o while_o little_a child_n be_v
