enjoin_v it_o as_o a_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n 2._o that_o we_o may_v taste_v something_o of_o the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o more_o careful_o avoid_v it_o

consider_v as_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o small_a but_o it_o deserve_v damnation_n so_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o great_a that_o it_o can_v bring_v damnation_n upon_o those_o who_o true_o
