than_o in_o any_o affliction_n i_o shall_v be_v large_a in_o this_o argument_n because_o it_o be_v of_o wonderful_a concernment_n to_o stop_v man_n in_o their_o course_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o humble_v

that_o which_o make_v a_o man_n the_o object_n of_o god_n hatred_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o evil_a as_o thus_o when_o any_o affection_n run_v in_o one_o current_n it_o must_v needs_o run_v very_o
