to_o its_o stroke_n than_o to_o a_o eternal_a distance_n from_o he_o who_o their_o soul_n love_v they_o fear_v the_o king_n of_o terror_n indeed_o but_o they_o fear_v and_o abhor_v a_o everlasting_a separation_n from_o christ_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o though_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n many_o of_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o die_v and_o ready_a to_o contradict_v all_o again_o yet_o
