whosoever_o do_v desire_v the_o word_n to_o be_v save_v thereby_o let_v he_o tremble_v at_o it_o and_o yet_o embrace_v it_o let_v he_o prepare_v his_o heart_n better_a to_o entertain_v it_o let_v he_o stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o understand_v it_o let_v he_o not_o lose_v such_o precious_a seed_n for_o want_v of_o harrow_n in_o by_o due_a meditation_n and_o let_v he_o cherish_v it_o in_o his_o inward_a thought_n continual_o that_o it_o may_v grow_v and_o prosper_v and_o more_o show_v itself_o in_o his_o speech_n action_n and_o company_n than_o those_o bryar-like_a sprout_n of_o his_o own_o natural_a corruption_n second_o we_o must_v see_v to_o it_o that_o we_o be_v doer_n of_o the_o word_n as_o well_o as_o hearer_n we_o must_v not_o only_o know_v but_o observe_v and_o

and_o it_o be_v a_o singular_a help_n to_o a_o christian_a to_o set_v upon_o his_o obedience_n while_o the_o doctrine_n be_v yet_o fresh_a in_o his_o mind_n for_o delay_n will_v compass_v he_o about_o
