be_v not_o natural_o perceptible_a of_o our_o affection_n but_o be_v a_o stranger_n unto_o they_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o move_v towards_o it_o but_o as_o they_o be_v draw_v

that_o the_o superstitious_a have_v before_o their_o face_n the_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o a_o tragical_a accident_n which_o do_v easy_o touch_v those_o heart_n that_o be_v endue_v with_o
