of_o these_o duty_n be_v not_o so_o difficult_a but_o that_o it_o be_v fair_o consistent_a with_o all_o our_o other_o necessary_a occasion_n and_o diversion_n 6._o that_o the_o difficulty_n of_o they_o be_v such_o as_o will_v certain_o abate_v and_o wear_v off_o by_o degree_n if_o we_o constant_o practise_v they_o 7._o that_o with_o the_o difficulty_n of_o they_o there_o be_v a_o world_n of_o

difficulty_n there_o be_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o for_o it_o for_o if_o we_o have_v betake_v ourselves_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o religion_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o before_o we_o have_v enter_v ourselves_o into_o sinful_a course_n and_o have_v therein_o contract_v sinful_a habit_n and_o inclination_n we_o may_v have_v prevent_v those_o difficulty_n which_o we_o now_o complain_v of_o for_o our_o religion_n be_v make_v for_o and_o adapt_v to_o our_o nature_n and_o will_v have_v sweet_o accord_v with_o all_o its_o affection_n

the_o eye_n yet_o if_o through_o a_o distillation_n of_o ill_a humour_n into_o it_o the_o eye_n grow_v sore_a and_o weak_a there_o be_v nothing_o more_o grievous_a and_o offensive_a to_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o religion_n which_o to_o the_o pure_a and_o uncontaminated_a nature_n of_o a_o man_n be_v the_o most_o grateful_a and_o aggreeable_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o if_o by_o our_o own_o ill_a government_n we_o disease_n our_o nature_n and_o deprave_v its_o primitive_a constitution_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o religion_n which_o be_v so_o well_o proportion_v to_o it_o in_o its_o purity_n shall_v sit_v hard_a and_o uneasy_a upon_o it_o in_o its_o apostasy_n and_o corruption_n for_o to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o fever_n every_o thing_n be_v bitter_a even_a
