some_o application_n of_o the_o whole_a i._o i_o shall_v say_v something_o concern_v christ_n wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a to_o sinner_n and_o importune_v they_o for_o admittance_n into_o their_o

he_o be_v call_v unto_o you_o for_o admittance_n and_o as_o yet_o to_o no_o purpose_n indeed_o some_o receive_v he_o very_o early_o happy_a they_o who_o bid_v so_o worthy_a so_o desirable_a so_o
