not_o your_o reward_n your_o crown_n nor_o your_o peace_n can_v reach_v to_o take_v it_o a_o way_n and_o that_o be_v our_o joy_n that_o we_o have_v a_o crown_n and_o inheritance_n that_o be_v out_o

see_v that_o you_o all_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o in_o his_o appear_v by_o his_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o grace_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o let_v he_o have_v room_n there_o and_o not_o to_o be_v
