treasure_n of_o god_n you_o can_v serve_v two_o master_n and_o that_o because_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o antipathy_n to_o the_o riches_n of_o heaven_n in_o that_o one_o be_v perish_v the_o other_o everlasting_a the_o one_o cloud_n or_o draw_v the_o soul_n from_o god_n the_o other_o expel_v mist_n and_o draw_v the_o soul_n to_o god_n so_o that_o christ_n know_v it_o be_v the_o great_a trial_n and_o snare_n to_o the_o soul_n do_v declare_v it_o a_o hard_a thing_n to_o enter_v yea_o so_o difficult_a that_o since_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n of_o flesh_n
