this_o present_a life_n neither_o can_v i_o see_v any_o great_a inconvenience_n or_o that_o a_o christian_n be_v more_o guilty_a if_o after_o he_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n pray_v and_o

to_o any_o serious_a and_o important_a action_n such_o as_o be_v namely_o the_o holy_a action_n of_o god_n service_n without_o some_o interval_n of_o relaxation_n if_o between_o the_o hour_n that_o

of_o the_o same_o nature_n by_o way_n of_o diversion_n and_o refreshment_n i_o can_v conceive_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v displease_v therewith_o because_o god_n service_n and_o godliness_n be_v not_o
