to_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n not_o repentance_n only_o but_o there_o withal_o faith_n also_o second_o because_o it_o be_v say_v without_o faith_n we_o can_v please_v god_n

we_o with_o a_o dead_a faith_n as_o the_o mother_n be_v with_o the_o dead_a child_n instead_o of_o her_o live_n therefore_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o divers_a kind_n thereof_o for_o as_o we_o must_v labour_v for_o it_o so_o we_o must_v look_v it_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n if_o a_o king_n shall_v have_v a_o servant_n and_o shall_v send_v he_o into_o his_o treasury_n and_o he_o shall_v bid_v he_o take_v silver_n and_o gold_n or_o what_o jewel_n he_o will_v have_v and_o whatsoever_o he_o want_v the_o servant_n will_v sure_o look_v he_o have_v the_o key_n and_o the_o right_a key_n too_o or_o else_o he_o may_v turn_v and_o turn_v and_o never_o the_o better_o so_o when_o god_n do_v offer_v such_o rich_a treasure_n in_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o next_o thing_n be_v we_o must_v look_v to_o it_o that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o right_a key_n that_o be_v true_a faith_n or_o else_o we_o may_v turn_v and_o turn_v and_o never_o the_o better_o and_o therefore_o that_o we_o be_v not_o deceive_v we_o be_v to_o consider_v general_o there_o be_v four_o kind_n of_o faith_n 1._o historical_a faith_n 2._o temporary_a faith_n 3._o miraculous_a faith_n 4._o true_a save_a faith_n first_o 1_o historical_a faith_n be_v what_o when_o a_o man_n believe_v the_o history_n of_o the_o bible_n to_o be_v true_a without_o application_n of_o it_o that_o be_v can_v apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o the_o comfort_v of_o his_o conscience_n to_o the_o direct_n of_o his_o life_n nor_o to_o the_o humble_v of_o himself_o this_o have_v no_o grace_n in_o it_o it_o be_v no_o work_n of_o god_n but_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o as_o we_o believe_v other_o story_n so_o also_o we_o may_v believe_v this_o and_o assentunto_o it_o and_o therefore_o no_o grace_n of_o god_n james_n 2._o the_o devil_n have_v this_o kind_n of_o faith_n they_o believe_v the_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o therefore_o tremble_v now_o he_o do_v not_o so_o because_o he_o be_v illuminate_v by_o god_n spirit_n but_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n by_o this_o he_o know_v it_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n may_v have_v this_o faith_n and_o not_o true_a faith_n here_o we_o be_v to_o note_v a_o strange_a malice_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o he_o will_v keep_v from_o man_n that_o which_o he_o believe_v himself_o for_o he_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v true_a note_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n to_o torment_v and_o yet_o many_o man_n believe_v not_o this_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n or_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v true_a and_o therefore_o they_o come_v short_a of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o grace_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v true_a faith_n a_o man_n may_v believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o he_o be_v a_o just_a god_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v pardon_n for_o sin_n reward_n for_o the_o godly_a punishment_n for_o the_o wicked_a and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n for_o it_o fail_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o be_v sail_n in_o the_o true_a resolve_v ground_n of_o faith_n for_o as_o the_o schoolman_n say_v true_a faith_n never_o rest_v till_o it_o come_v at_o his_o resolve_a ground_n to_o rest_v on_o god_n for_o as_o they_o say_v faith_n do_v not_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n because_o peter_n or_o paul_n write_v and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n but_o true_a faith_n do_v believe_v it_o because_o god_n speak_v it_o so_o that_o true_a faith_n rest_v on_o god_n as_o the_o last_o ground_n so_o 2_o peter_n 1._o 21._o say_v he_o for_o the_o prophecy_n come_v not_o in_o old_a time_n by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o holy_a man_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o these_o holy_a man_n do_v not_o write_v the_o scripture_n in_o their_o own_o name_n but_o they_o write_v they_o as_o the_o penman_n and_o secretary_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o rest_v in_o they_o because_o they_o write_v they_o but_o because_o god_n speak_v they_o and_o it_o be_v his_o will_n 16._o and_o all_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n tertullian_n have_v a_o say_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n when_o they_o will_v have_v their_o law_n know_v to_o man_n they_o send_v it_o by_o shreeves_n to_o proclaim_v and_o make_v it_o know_v to_o they_o so_o say_v he_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o shreeves_n and_o officer_n of_o almighty_a god_n to_o make_v god_n law_n know_v unto_o man_n and_o as_o another_o learned_a man_n say_v namely_o augustine_n that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n do_v write_v the_o scripture_n but_o not_o in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o he_o be_v the_o head_n but_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n do_v write_v they_o as_o the_o very_a part_n of_o christ_n the_o very_a hand_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o finger_n of_o christ_n to_o write_v the_o scripture_n for_o whatsoever_o christ_n will_v have_v write_v to_o his_o people_n concern_v his_o will_n he_o have_v write_v by_o his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n ezek._n 9_o 8._o christ_n be_v there_o describe_v to_o have_v a_o inkhorn_n of_o a_o writer_n at_o his_o reins_n christ_n have_v his_o inkhorn_n at_o his_o back_n to_o write_v his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n to_o his_o people_n when_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n upon_o they_o even_o when_o he_o be_v depart_v and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o true_a faith_n in_o the_o last_o resolution_n stay_v on_o god_n it_o do_v not_o rest_n on_o the_o scripture_n because_o peter_n and_o paul_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v it_o but_o because_o god_n have_v teach_v it_o therefore_o here_o we_o may_v consider_v the_o ground_n of_o a_o historical_a faith_n general_o to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o man_n believe_v the_o bible_n and_o in_o their_o common_a speech_n talk_v of_o it_o be_v because_o they_o never_o hear_v otherwise_o since_o they_o be_v bear_v but_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v true_a so_o that_o it_o do_v not_o arise_v from_o the_o true_a ground_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o historical_a faith_n do_v fail_v in_o faith_n be_v because_o it_o want_v particular_a application_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o do_v assent_v to_o it_o that_o it_o be_v true_a but_o it_o go_v no_o further_o it_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n but_o not_o believe_v he_o be_v a_o god_n to_o he_o it_o believe_v there_o be_v pardon_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o that_o god_n be_v just_a but_o not_o to_o he_o this_o be_v a_o main_a defect_n in_o this_o faith_n it_o do_v not_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o body_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o vein_n some_o of_o they_o be_v suck_v and_o draw_v the_o meat_n into_o the_o stomach_n to_o concoct_v the_o other_o carry_v the_o strength_n of_o it_o into_o every_o part_n of_o a_o man_n so_o true_a faith_n like_o to_o these_o suck_a vein_n carry_v the_o word_n down_o into_o a_o man_n heart_n and_o apply_v it_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o gospel_n when_o christ_n speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n general_o that_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v betray_v he_o straightway_o they_o say_v every_o one_o be_v it_o i_o master_n be_v
day_n of_o adversity_n thy_o strength_n be_v but_o small_a if_o a_o man_n come_v to_o a_o tree_n and_o shake_v it_o with_o his_o finger_n this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n it_o do_v show_v that_o the_o tree_n be_v not_o well_o root_v even_o so_o when_o the_o least_o trouble_n that_o come_v unjoynt_n vex_v and_o shake_v we_o on_o every_o side_n it_o show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o well_o root_v and_o ground_v in_o faith_n the_o four_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v discern_v weakness_n of_o say_v in_o ourselves_o be_v it_o when_o we_o believe_v god_n can_v help_v we_o but_o it_o must_v be_v by_o such_o and_o such_o mean_n so_o jarus_n believe_v christ_n will_v help_v his_o daughter_n but_o it_o must_v be_v by_o touch_v and_o lay_v on_o his_o hand_n as_o we_o see_v matth._n 5._o this_o be_v weak_a faith_n to_o believe_v that_o christ_n can_v help_v but_o it_o must_v be_v by_o such_o and_o such_o mean_n and_o so_o in_o john_n 6._o the_o disciple_n believe_v that_o christ_n can_v feed_v five_o thousand_o but_o they_o must_v have_v two_o hundred_o penny_n worth_a of_o bread_n for_o to_o do_v it_o withal_o so_o likewise_o moses_n believe_v that_o god_n can_v give_v he_o water_n enough_o for_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n but_o not_o out_o of_o a_o rock_n but_o it_o must_v be_v out_o of_o the_o river_n this_o then_o be_v weakness_n of_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n can_v help_v we_o but_o it_o must_v be_v by_o such_o and_o such_o mean_n the_o five_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v weakness_n of_o faith_n be_v it_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n when_o they_o be_v weak_a in_o we_o as_o in_o the_o book_n of_o judge_n we_o see_v how_o samson_n do_v know_v he_o be_v grow_v weak_a and_o that_o his_o strength_n be_v depart_v from_o he_o it_o be_v by_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o action_n not_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o philistimes_fw-la as_o former_o so_o may_v we_o know_v weakness_n of_o faith_n in_o ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v weak_a in_o our_o action_n in_o our_o prayer_n and_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o other_o holy_a duty_n therefore_o howsoever_o man_n talk_v of_o strong_a faith_n if_o they_o be_v weak_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n and_o be_v not_o strong_a to_o stand_v against_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o resist_v they_o it_o be_v but_o weak_a faith_n the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v 1_o that_o if_o we_o find_v weak_a faith_n in_o ourselves_o we_o must_v take_v account_n of_o it_o labour_v to_o be_v humble_v for_o it_o and_o to_o say_v with_o david_n psal_n 6._o i_o be_o weak_a but_o lord_n help_v my_o weakness_n and_o as_o the_o man_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v lord_n i_o believe_v but_o help_v thou_o my_o unbelief_n lord_n i_o have_v weakness_n of_o faith_n but_o lord_n help_v this_o weakness_n of_o faith_n in_o i_o the_o second_o use_n be_v 2._o that_o if_o we_o find_v weakness_n of_o faith_n in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o strengthen_v it_o by_o the_o use_n of_o good_a mean_n by_o prayer_n read_v preach_v and_o by_o such_o like_a mean_n we_o know_v if_o a_o poor_a man_n dwell_v in_o a_o rot_a house_n if_o the_o wind_n arise_v he_o will_v get_v prop_n and_o shore_n to_o underprop_v it_o that_o so_o he_o may_v keep_v it_o from_o fall_v so_o see_v we_o dwell_v in_o rot_a house_n if_o the_o wind_n of_o temptation_n arise_v we_o shall_v labour_v to_o prop_v up_o our_o faith_n by_o the_o use_n of_o good_a mean_n by_o preach_v prayer_n the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o such_o like_a that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n for_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v before_o faith_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o seed_n and_o not_o to_o a_o stone_n because_o a_o seed_n will_v grow_v to_o be_v a_o tree_n but_o a_o stone_n grow_v not_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o use_v good_a mean_n and_o do_v not_o grow_v by_o it_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suspect_v it_o be_v not_o weak_a but_o no_o faith_n for_o where_o true_a faith_n be_v although_o it_o be_v weak_a yet_o it_o grow_v to_o be_v strong_a by_o the_o use_n of_o good_a mean_n strong_a faith_n never_o doubt_v of_o salvation_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o do_v assure_v itself_o of_o salvation_n and_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n by_o a_o sylogisticall_a reason_n the_o ground_n whereof_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v argument_n god_n have_v say_v in_o his_o word_n that_o whosoever_o repent_v and_o believe_v shall_v undoubted_o be_v save_v this_o be_v the_o great_a ground_n and_o maxim_n whereon_o strong_a faith_n do_v stay_v itself_o which_o be_v build_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o the_o true_a believe_a heart_n say_v lord_n but_o i_o upon_o the_o search_n of_o my_o conscience_n do_v find_v that_o i_o do_v true_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n arise_v therefore_o i_o shall_v undoubted_o and_o certain_o be_v save_v the_o papist_n say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v assure_v of_o the_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n here_o in_o this_o life_n but_o i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o answer_v i_o these_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v speak_v in_o his_o word_n 1_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o under_o the_o conduct_n and_o certainty_n of_o faith_n but_o god_n have_v say_v in_o his_o word_n that_o whosoever_o repent_v and_o believe_v be_v bind_v by_o the_o certainty_n of_o his_o word_n and_o of_o his_o faith_n to_o believe_v his_o salvation_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n the_o second_o be_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v 2_o but_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o our_o salvation_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o five_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o now_o strong_a faith_n be_v not_o so_o strong_a but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v shrewd_o shake_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n as_o david_n faith_n be_v he_o say_v i_o be_o cast_v out_o of_o thy_o presence_n and_o so_o peter_n be_v shake_v for_o the_o time_n and_o yet_o christ_n have_v pray_v that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v he_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o strong_a faith_n may_v be_v shake_v and_o weaken_a of_o which_o there_o be_v these_o occasion_n or_o reason_n first_o shake_v because_o we_o have_v give_v way_n to_o some_o sin_n and_o have_v not_o be_v watchful_a to_o keep_v the_o door_n of_o our_o heart_n shut_v against_o it_o but_o give_v way_n unto_o it_o this_o will_v weaken_v strong_a faith_n a_o man_n that_o be_v strong_a may_v catch_v a_o cold_a or_o a_o surfeit_n 1_o and_o be_v make_v so_o weak_a that_o he_o can_v be_v able_a to_o go_v with_o a_o staff_n so_o a_o man_n may_v catch_v a_o cold_a that_o be_v he_o may_v commit_v some_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v make_v his_o faith_n so_o weak_a that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stir_v or_o feel_v any_o comfort_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o offence_n that_o he_o have_v do_v second_o by_o the_o neglect_v of_o the_o use_n of_o good_a mean_n as_o preach_v prayer_n reading_z 2_o and_o such_o like_a so_o it_o may_v become_v weak_a mark_n 3._o we_o read_v there_o be_v a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o wither_a hand_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v because_o there_o be_v obstruction_n in_o the_o vein_n that_o it_o can_v not_o carry_v down_o nourishment_n to_o that_o

faith_n will_v be_v weaken_v our_o assurance_n wither_v and_o dry_a three_o 3_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o he_o will_v do_v as_o the_o philistimes_fw-la do_v with_o samson_n know_v his_o

39_o say_v christ_n search_v the_o scripture_n for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v to_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n also_o 2_o pet._n 1._o 19_o say_v he_o we_o have_v also_o a_o most_o sure_a word_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o the_o which_o you_o do_v well_o that_o you_o take_v heed_n as_o unto_o a_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n to_o direct_v we_o by_o in_o the_o time_n of_o distraction_n and_o danger_n if_o one_o shall_v have_v a_o long_a journey_n to_o go_v simile_n and_o one_o shall_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n a_o glass_n that_o will_v show_v he_o every_o step_n he_o shall_v take_v that_o he_o may_v not_o step_v one_o

foot_n awry_o we_o may_v see_v it_o therefore_o how_o thankful_a shall_v we_o be_v to_o god_n for_o it_o act._n 17._o 11._o when_o paul_n have_v preach_v the_o word_n there_o be_v opposition_n among_o they_o they_o get_v to_o the_o bible_n and_o search_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o whereupon_o it_o be_v say_v many_o of_o they_o believe_v simile_n so_o when_o the_o learned_a man_n and_o preacher_n have_v opposition_n there_o be_v distraction_n and_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n among_o they_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n we_o must_v to_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o thanks_n be_v to_o god_n he_o have_v not_o leave_v we_o to_o err_v and_o wander_v but_o have_v give_v we_o a_o direction_n to_o guide_v we_o augustin_n say_v well_o concern_v this_o point_n if_o there_o be_v any_o distraction_n or_o opposition_n about_o this_o thing_n or_o that_o thing_n let_v christ_n be_v the_o judge_n for_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a blessing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v thankful_a for_o that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o the_o second_o use_n be_v 2._o see_v god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v excuse_v himself_o and_o say_v i_o will_v have_v do_v it_o if_o i_o have_v know_v it_o or_o if_o some_o body_n have_v tell_v it_o i_o or_o if_o i_o have_v a_o rule_n to_o go_v by_o now_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v excuse_v himself_o and_o say_v he_o have_v not_o a_o rule_n for_o god_n have_v leave_v he_o one_o in_o his_o word_n which_o make_v all_o unexcusable_a as_o john_n 15._o 22._o christ_n speak_v simile_n if_o i_o have_v not_o come_v and_o speak_v to_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v have_v sin_n but_o now_o their_o sin_n abide_v so_o if_o god_n have_v not_o leave_v we_o a_o rule_n and_o a_o direction_n to_o guide_v ourselves_o by_o in_o the_o bible_n we_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o sin_n but_o because_o god_n have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o therefore_o if_o we_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o it_o we_o have_v no_o cloak_n for_o our_o sin_n see_v god_n have_v leave_v we_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o 3_o it_o must_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o rule_n in_o our_o thought_n speech_n and_o action_n we_o see_v a_o man_n be_v much_o the_o better_a that_o have_v a_o rule_n to_o work_v by_o simile_n for_o he_o will_v stick_v it_o at_o his_o back_n work_n by_o aim_n and_o not_o by_o guess_n so_o psal_n 119._o 33._o say_v david_n teach_v i_o o_o lord_n the_o way_n of_o thy_o statute_n and_o i_o will_v keep_v it_o to_o the_o end_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v let_v i_o but_o know_v thy_o will_n and_o i_o be_o content_v to_o do_v it_o if_o once_o we_o know_v god_n will_v we_o must_v direct_v all_o our_o speech_n and_o action_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o it_o it_o be_v a_o great_a infamy_n to_o any_o man_n to_o come_v into_o a_o order_n and_o not_o to_o hold_v he_o to_o his_o order_n simile_n as_o to_o be_v a_o soldier_n or_o a_o scholar_n but_o much_o more_o to_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o humble_v one_o self_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o christianity_n how_o just_a shall_v our_o condemnation_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n teach_v a_o man_n to_o be_v temperate_a and_o not_o to_o be_v overtake_v with_o surfeit_v and_o

hold_v they_o to_o their_o rule_n to_o live_v temperate_o walk_v holy_o and_o to_o make_v conscience_n of_o their_o way_n to_o deal_v true_o and_o just_o with_o man_n to_o take_v heed_n they_o do_v not_o misspend_v their_o time_n to_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n if_o they_o do_v not_o these_o thing_n they_o be_v fall_v from_o their_o rule_n and_o shame_v in_o that_o they_o hold_v not_o to_o it_o augustin_n say_v there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v straight_o but_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o rule_n and_o then_o we_o may_v see_v their_o obliquity_n so_o

no_o element_n be_v heavy_a or_o burdensome_a in_o his_o own_o place_n as_o in_o the_o sea_n 1_o let_v a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o although_o he_o have_v the_o whole_a sea_n on_o

bring_v before_o god_n judgement_n bar_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o sin_n second_o 2_o because_o of_o the_o deadness_n and_o insensibility_n of_o our_o

it_o be_v a_o great_a weight_n and_o burden_n three_o 3_o because_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o face_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o tail_n of_o sin_n upon_o the_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n of_o it_o but_o not_o upon_o the_o tail_n thereof_o that_o be_v to_o the_o punishment_n which_o shall_v follow_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o stream_n of_o jordan_n a_o pleasant_a
