john_n baptist_n and_o moses_n come_v rough_o but_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o tenderness_n if_o you_o be_v subject_a to_o infirmity_n he_o be_v ready_a to_o pass_v they_o by_o if_o you_o be_v overcome_v with_o they_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o recover_v you_o and_o therefore_o now_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n submit_v yourselves_o to_o his_o yoke_n to_o his_o teach_n and_o discipline_n to_o his_o rule_n and_o government_n which_o be_v so_o easy_a but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o he_o will_v rule_v you_o with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o break_v you_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n

the_o prison_n door_n will_v not_o offender_n take_v that_o opportunity_n or_o if_o a_o creditor_n shall_v say_v to_o his_o debtor_n come_v to_o i_o at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o i_o will_v forgive_v
