sore_o trial_n especial_o of_o long_a continuance_n breed_v a_o weariness_n of_o the_o world_n and_o a_o sort_n of_o carelessness_n of_o worldly_a concern_v which_o be_v often_o mistake_v for_o

not_o mortification_n may_v be_v either_o active_o or_o passive_o consider_v consider_v active_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o the_o soul_n strive_v not_o only_o to_o beat_v
