overcharge_v for_o surfeit_v they_o think_v it_o sometime_o lawful_a to_o give_v liberty_n and_o reins_n to_o be_v overcharge_v with_o it_o as_o at_o christmas_n the_o time_n of_o the_o come_n of_o

that_o be_v the_o hide_a man_n of_o the_o soul_n they_o overpresse_a and_o burden_v the_o soul_n so_o much_o the_o word_n here_o use_v imply_v and_o import_v in_o the_o original_a take_v heed_n to_o

first_o thing_n we_o must_v labour_v for_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o grievousnesse_n of_o they_o to_o feel_v how_o they_o burden_n we_o both_o in_o spiritual_a duty_n and_o other_o how_o they_o press_v our_o soul_n except_o we_o be_v disburden_v of_o they_o in_o time_n even_o to_o hell_n spirit_n 2_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o his_o spirit_n second_o let_v we_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o

your_o heart_n be_v overcharge_v it_o signify_v such_o a_o burden_n as_o be_v a_o grievous_a oppress_a burden_n such_o as_o can_v be_v lift_v but_o with_o a_o giant_n at_o i_o such_o a_o burden_n be_v these_o sin_n they_o oppress_v the_o soul_n and_o none_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n can_v case_v we_o of_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o send_v his_o

on_o we_o and_o to_o press_v not_o only_o our_o body_n but_o our_o soul_n we_o shall_v use_v all_o our_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o be_v free_a that_o so_o we_o may_v run_v with_o patience_n the_o
