where_o these_o matter_n will_v be_v more_o serious_o and_o search_o inquire_v after_o the_o great_a question_v of_o the_o day_n will_v then_o be_v this_o whether_o you_o have_v be_v hearty_o devote_v

that_o whole_o live_v to_o god_n for_o all_o be_v sinner_n how_o then_o can_v our_o salvation_n depend_v so_o much_o on_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o a_o word_n though_o no_o man_n pay_v god_n all_o that_o he_o owe_v he_o yet_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v that_o give_v he_o not_o the_o pre-eminence_n he_o will_v own_v none_o as_o true_a subject_n that_o do_v not_o cordial_o own_v he_o in_o
