child_n you_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n and_o though_o you_o may_v not_o have_v commit_v much_o sin_n actual_o because_o many_o of_o you_o be_v young_a in_o year_n and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o

to_o weigh_v the_o matter_n and_o in_o time_n to_o consider_v it_o for_o certain_o the_o lord_n be_v grieve_v with_o evil_a deed_n and_o with_o the_o disorderly_a walk_n of_o all_o such_o as_o be_v
