he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o carry_v his_o heart_n and_o that_o furious_o against_o sin_n because_o it_o bring_v judgement_n and_o plague_n but_o thus_o far_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v go_v a_o judas_n a_o cain_n a_o saul_n cain_n will_v say_v his_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o can_v be_v forgive_v because_o he_o have_v kill_v his_o brother_n but_o he_o can_v never_o see_v his_o sin_n so_o vile_a because_o it_o do_v separate_v he_o from_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n enter_v the_o blow_n and_o follow_v it_o home_o upon_o the_o soul_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_n may_v leave_v

of_o the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n &_o plague_n of_o sin_n this_o wearisomeness_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o follow_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n make_v itself_o know_v in_o these_o three_o particular_n
press_v the_o shoulder_n of_o he_o that_o bear_v it_o if_o the_o one_o be_v thirty_o and_o the_o other_o forty_o pound_n weight_n nature_n will_v be_v most_o burden_a with_o the_o great_a weight_n
