well_o taste_v what_o we_o eat_v or_o drink_v but_o admit_v that_o do_v remain_v yet_o it_o be_v lessen_v again_o by_o have_v have_v it_o over_o so_o very_o often_o but_o the_o chief_a reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o near_o yea_o the_o very_a near_o approach_n of_o death_n which_o then_o do_v cast_v a_o alloy_n and_o damp_n even_o upon_o all_o the_o innocent_a pleasure_n and_o lawful_a comfort_n of_o life_n which_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o this_o age_n unless_o it_o be_v attemper_v with_o grace_n and_o knowledge_n be_v common_o so_o fretful_a vaspish_a and_o froward_a but_o god_n have_v here_o promise_v a_o crown_n of_o life_n to_o the_o endure_v of_o temptation_n unto_o such_o as_o love_v he_o which_o at_o this_o day_n be_v make_v good_a unto_o his_o servant_n job_n for_o as_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n do_v live_v unto_o god_n so_o do_v his_o soul_n also_o at_o this_o very_a moment_n somewhere_o exist_v this_o do_v mighty_o alter_v the_o case_n and_o make_v those_o temptation_n to_o be_v willing_o submit_v unto_o yea_o to_o become_v a_o matter_n of_o choice_n i_o have_v rather_o meet_v with_o trouble_n in_o the_o way_n of_o duty_n then_o to_o avoid_v it_o in_o the_o neglect_n and_o omission_n thereof_o when_o these_o temptation_n do_v tend_v and_o work_v together_o for_o our_o endless_a good_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n and_o herein_o be_v that_o say_v true_a it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n that_o he_o bear_v his_o yoke_n in_o his_o youth_n lam._n 3._o 27._o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a word_n of_o consolation_n to_o i_o who_o have_v bear_v the_o yoke_n to_o a_o witness_n in_o my_o youth_n who_o life_n from_o my_o youth_n up_o have_v be_v almost_o a_o continue_a train_n and_o series_n of_o affliction_n and_o i_o do_v still_o labour_v under_o

that_o even_o now_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o as_o he_o have_v create_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o great_a power_n and_o wisdom_n so_o he_o that_o ride_v upon_o the_o heaven_n by_o his_o name_n jah_n

any_o thing_n that_o may_v displease_v and_o lose_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o by_o consequence_n fall_v under_o his_o wrath_n and_o future_a punishment_n these_o and_o such_o like_a thing_n be_v

the_o great_a dragon_n all_o this_o be_v common_o express_v in_o very_o plain_a word_n that_o any_o one_o may_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v all_o mean_v and_o intend_v of_o he_o for_o whosoever_o
