will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n reason_n and_o who_o can_v endure_v it_o i_o will_v therefore_o show_v you_o some_o reason_n for_o it_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v 1._o because_o that_o whosoever_o walk_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n sin_n be_v overcome_v of_o sin_n and_o whosoever_o be_v overcome_v of_o sin_n can_v be_v save_v indeed_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v

unto_o you_o a_o man_n have_v a_o shoulder_n that_o be_v out_o of_o joint_n can_v bear_v any_o thing_n so_o if_o sin_n be_v mingle_v with_o affliction_n it_o make_v that_o bitter_a but_o after_o you_o have_v purge_v yourselves_o from_o sin_n you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v they_o but_o when_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n within_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v they_o 4_o when_o you_o heart_n be_v
