and_o certain_o sometime_o when_o a_o christian_a do_v reflect_v upon_o those_o live_n and_o strong_a corruption_n that_o be_v within_o he_o he_o will_v have_v much_o of_o that_o fear_n which_o

as_o not_o to_o debate_v and_o wrestle_v with_o they_o for_o they_o turn_v not_o unto_o presumptuous_a sin_n except_o we_o go_v such_o a_o length_n therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v much_o in_o present_v that_o supplication_n psal._n 19_o 13._o keep_v back_o thy_o servant_n from_o presumptuous_a sin_n let_v they_o not_o have_v dominion_n over_o i_o now_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v speak_v to_o

before_o we_o speak_v of_o they_o we_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o that_o this_o generation_n desire_v rather_o to_o know_v what_o to_o do_v then_o to_o do_v and_o practise_v what_o they_o know_v we_o
