this_o will_v be_v a_o conversation_n worthy_a of_o and_o become_v the_o gospel_n nay_o it_o will_v make_v a_o little_a heaven_n on_o earth_n and_o we_o desire_v to_o to_o be_v as_o press_v and_o

of_o the_o thing_n but_o also_o the_o sweet_a easiness_n of_o it_o for_o take_v it_o in_o a_o gospel_n sense_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a yoke_n and_o a_o light_a burden_n and_o it_o be_v withal_o very_o

be_v judge_v both_o by_o the_o law_n and_o gospel_n 5._o consider_v that_o though_o the_o lord_n have_v require_v many_o hard_a thing_n of_o you_o you_o will_v most_o certain_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o have_v perform_v they_o and_o now_o when_o he_o require_v only_o this_o ought_v you_o not_o so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o aim_v at_o it_o and_o endeavour_v it_o otherwise_o you_o bring_v up_o a_o
