our_o conscience_n if_o we_o examine_v they_o well_o will_v tell_v us._n wherefore_o we_o can_v but_o sink_v be_v toss_v in_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n of_o this_o world_n &_o drown_v with_o the_o

therefore_o be_v it_o that_o he_o so_o often_o time_n command_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n &_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v love_n joy_n peace_n long_o suffer_v

most_o dangerous_a case_n for_o tell_v i_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o so_o many_o now_o a_o day_n run_v headlong_o to_o all_o wickedness_n &_o abomination_n some_o to_o

they_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o they_o be_v such_o kind_n of_o man_n as_o he_o there_o paint_v forth_o in_o their_o colour_n &_o such_o as_o we_o daily_o see_v here_o with_o us._n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o any_o man_n to_o give_v he_o his_o spirit_n as_o paul_n prove_v ronvere_n 11._o neither_o do_v they_o humble_v themselves_o to_o ask_v his_o grace_n
