this_o patriarch_n jacob_n serve_v his_o uncle_n laban_n seven_o year_n for_o rachel_n his_o daughter_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o affection_n towards_o she_o make_v that_o time_n seem_v but_o

behold_v the_o short_a affliction_n of_o one_o day_n can_v eneruate_v thy_o love_n and_o unlock_v thy_o affection_n from_o god_n and_o heaven_n every_o cross_a accident_n stop_v thou_o in_o thy_o

can_v serve_v seven_o year_n with_o cheerfulness_n for_o a_o wife_n but_o thou_o can_v hardly_o serve_v thy_o god_n so_o many_o day_n with_o a_o true_a affection_n for_o heaven_n for_o reckon_v up_o all_o the_o night_n thou_o have_v spend_v in_o prayer_n sum_n up_o all_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o have_v wear_v out_o in_o religious_a exercise_n and_o can_v thou_o then_o true_o say_v to_o god_n
