which_o must_v be_v the_o joy_n and_o crown_n and_o constant_a disposition_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o heaven_n the_o deadness_n and_o indisposition_n from_o within_o which_o we_o be_v subject_a unto_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n but_o to_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o nature_n as_o the_o loathness_n to_o use_v exercise_n proceed_v from_o the_o ill_a humour_n which_o oppress_v the_o spirit_n in_o a_o disease_a body_n and_o not_o from_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o exercise_n which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o dispel_v those_o ill_a humour_n and_o to_o recover_v health_n and_o agility_n for_o the_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n from_o without_o they_o be_v not_o much_o to_o be_v consider_v by_o any_o but_o those_o that_o know_v not_o what_o be_v the_o
