be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v hear_v of_o by_o and_o by_o but_o if_o nothing_o can_v satisfy_v thy_o conscience_n thou_o will_v appease_v thy_o conscience_n and_o

a_o very_a honest_a heart_n may_v be_v trouble_v and_o much_o perplex_v i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o abuse_n this_o for_o there_o be_v a_o trouble_a conscience_n that_o be_v yet_o a_o good_a
