presence_n i_o will_v bewail_v thy_o absence_n because_o even_o this_o be_v a_o token_n of_o love_n and_o a_o great_a pleasure_n to_o the_o love_a soul_n now_o than_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o

more_o true_o she_o feel_v the_o power_n thereof_o work_v within_o she_o they_o be_v not_o cold_a word_n but_o to_o the_o unkind_a soul_n neither_o deaf_a organ_n but_o to_o the_o harden_a hart_n the_o love_a and_o zealous_a soul_n know_v this_o well_o and_o be_v so_o often_o inflame_v in_o hart_n as_o she_o be_v prick_v with_o the_o desire_n of_o eternal_a peace_n and_o therefore_o she_o

begin_v to_o be_v still_o more_o grievous_a unto_o i_o for_o i_o see_v in_o this_o peace_n how_o far_o i_o be_o separate_v from_o the_o sovereign_a peace_n and_o in_o deed_n be_v first_o busy_v with_o earthly_a desire_n and_o move_v with_o diverse_a passion_n i_o be_v great_o hinder_v from_o spiritual_a cogitation_n and_o so_o from_o heavenly_a contemplation_n after_o which_o i_o shall_v have_v

even_o to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n and_o to_o go_v under_o the_o heavy_a burden_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v bitter_a of_o all_o when_o somuch_o as_o i_o may_v all_o my_o affection_n be_v gather_v
