why_o shall_v we_o fear_v that_o which_o if_o it_o shall_v not_o happen_v we_o shall_v be_v superlative_o miserable_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o we_o have_v hope_v only_o in_o this_o life_n we_o

a_o man_n in_o christ_n can_v live_v for_o ever_o in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v always_o young_a rich_a and_o healthful_a yet_o he_o will_v account_v himself_o most_o miserable_a because_o while_o
