and_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n where_o first_o we_o may_v note_v the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n which_o only_o be_v able_a to_o touch_v our_o conscience_n for_o sin_n for_o sinner_n neither_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n nor_o other_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v prick_v their_o heart_n as_o be_v able_a only_o to_o cast_v they_o into_o a_o admiration_n what_o more_o

indeed_o many_o feel_v sorrow_n and_o be_v inward_o prick_v but_o because_o therewith_o be_v not_o join_v the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n they_o be_v either_o senseless_a as_o block_n or_o in_o

and_o work_v in_o we_o any_o good_a fruit_n without_o the_o same_o for_o though_o the_o lord_n shall_v show_v unto_o we_o all_o the_o wonder_n from_o heaven_n which_o he_o show_v on_o the_o old_a

heaven_n no_o trouble_n from_o earth_n can_v humble_v way_n we_o no_o blessing_n from_o above_o no_o benefit_n from_o beneath_o can_v profit_v we_o until_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v which_o
