up_o your_o rest_n in_o your_o sight_n though_o they_o shall_v reach_v to_o the_o third-heaven_n without_o this_o life_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v be_v a_o treat_v of_o and_o this_o i_o can_v assure_v

for_o what_o be_v all_o your_o attainment_n but_o airy_a notion_n if_o you_o come_v not_o to_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n for_o how_o many_o have_v see_v the_o good_a land_n that_o never_o enter_v
