we_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o he_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o without_o we_o the_o unction_n teach_v and_o that_o so_o as_o to_o give_v strength_n to_o fulfil_v yet_o still_o our_o part_n be_v to_o put_v forth_o that_o strength_n for_o that_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v give_v we_o and_o though_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o this_o unction_n which_o do_v not_o only_o prevent_v we_o by_o

will_v resemble_v not_o only_o in_o great_a but_o lesser_a matter_n in_o garb_n and_o gesture_n in_o discourse_n and_o language_n and_o as_o for_o this_o reason_n he_o make_v so_o frequent_a use_n of_o the_o phrase_n so_o likewise_o he_o so_o often_o inculcate_v the_o duty_n because_o it_o be_v his_o master_n counsel_n to_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o disciple_n he_o well_o know_v he_o
