and_o terror_n of_o sense_n our_o faith_n and_o hope_n have_v not_o their_o due_a and_o proper_a influence_n upon_o we_o if_o they_o do_v not_o govern_v our_o life_n and_o action_n and_o make_v we_o

vi_o and_o last_o if_o we_o be_v sojourner_n and_o traveller_n in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v often_o think_v of_o our_o end_n and_o careful_o mind_v the_o way_n to_o it_o our_o end_n be_v
