8.11_o beware_v that_o thou_o forget_v not_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o positive_o as_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n but_o why_o do_v god_n put_v a_o

natural_o man_n can_v endure_v the_o yoke_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n he_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o his_o thought_n therefore_o he_o call_v we_o to_o

and_o make_v they_o fit_a for_o every_o good_a work_n sin_n never_o prevail_v more_o upon_o our_o heart_n than_o when_o god_n be_v shut_v out_o of_o our_o thought_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n do_v

and_o youthful_a lust_n and_o vanity_n do_v frequent_o turn_v the_o heart_n away_o from_o god_n therefore_o solomon_n say_v childhood_n and_o youth_n be_v vanity_n in_o the_o word_n before_o the_o

for_o it_o be_v taint_v and_o defile_v with_o lust_n and_o corruption_n all_o over_o thou_o be_v a_o child_n of_o wrath_n from_o the_o womb_n under_o a_o damn_v gild_n before_o ever_o thou_o do_v

it_o upon_o our_o lust_n therefore_o remember_v thy_o creator_n five_o god_n give_v we_o this_o memento_n to_o mind_v we_o of_o that_o strict_a account_n we_o must_v ever_o long_o give_v to_o he_o
