myself_o which_o part_n do_v i_o myself_o wish_v most_o may_v prevail_v which_o side_n do_v i_o take_v which_o interest_n do_v i_o frown_v at_o and_o wish_n may_v go_v down_o that_o be_v i_o myself_o my_o will_n in_o the_o proper_a sense_n which_o i_o prevail_o habitual_o choose_v so_o as_o to_o be_v most_o displease_v with_o my_o unwillingness_n and_o i_o find_v i_o be_o not_o displease_v or_o not_o much_o at_o my_o unwillingness_n to_o sin_n i_o know_v it_o be_v difficult_a when_o a_o man_n choice_n but-just_a turn_v the_o scale_n and_o be_v not_o vehement_a to_o discern_v which_o part_n

answer_v first_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o apostle_n desire_v to_o be_v free_v from_o many_o natural_a imperfection_n that_o be_v his_o sorrow_n and_o punishment_n for_o sin_n and_o not_o his_o
