A93732	Because that in the following discourse the reason is recited and answered, why my ministry is rejected and not received by this ignorant, but more especially corrupt world; therefore I thought it expedient and necessary to publish the same.

beat_v upon_o this_o house_n of_o our_o body_n when_o dangerous_a and_o torment_a disease_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o grim_a death_n approach_v nigh_o to_o arrest_n and_o carry_v our_o soul_n into_o
