who_o when_o he_o serve_v few_o serve_v three_o at_o once_o 1_o his_o lust_n 2_o satan_n work_v powerful_o in_o his_o sinful_a corruption_n 3_o god_n himself_o for_o the_o first_o it_o may_v be_v

although_o they_o do_v rebel_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o under_o his_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n god_n be_v king_n let_v the_o earth_n be_v never_o so_o unquiet_a

punishment_n thus_o wicked_a man_n be_v master_v on_o all_o hand_n and_o no_o way_n free_a either_o from_o sin_n or_o punishment_n 2_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o escape_n a_o servant_n hardly_o use_v may_v find_v mean_n to_o shift_v himself_o of_o his_o master_n it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o a_o sinner_n run_v away_o from_o his_o master_n he_o can_v for_o he_o bear_v he_o always_o

heart_n so_o ply_v he_o with_o temptation_n and_o ill_a suggestion_n that_o he_o can_v go_v a_o foot_n from_o his_o service_n it_o be_v true_a the_o case_n be_v so_o sometime_o with_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o he_o change_v his_o master_n but_o seldom_o come_v a_o better_a if_o he_o escape_v the_o tyranny_n of_o one_o sinful_a affection_n he_o fall_v under_o the_o command_n and_o power_n of_o another_o as_o bad_a so_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o very_a spendthrift_n turn_v a_o miserable_a niggard_n but_o this_o be_v only_o like_o a_o prisoner_n that_o remove_v his_o bolt_n from_o one_o leg_n
