know_v they_o must_v do_v something_o in_o religion_n something_o they_o will_v do_v to_o appease_v god_n when_o he_o be_v angry_a something_o to_o continue_v his_o favour_n when_o providence_n be_v

part_n of_o religion_n and_o most_o consistent_a with_o their_o unmortified_a lust_n they_o pitch_v upon_o this_o course_n it_o be_v indeed_o much_o easy_a to_o confess_v a_o hundred_o sin_n than_o to_o forsake_v one_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o spend_v a_o whole_a day_n in_o public_a worship_n than_o to_o deny_v the_o enticement_n of_o a_o lust_n or_o to_o withstand_v a_o temptation_n when_o it_o opportune_o present_v because_o the_o one_o be_v only_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o body_n the_o other_o require_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o one_o may_v be_v a_o weariness_n to_o the_o
