that_o affliction_n in_o this_o respect_n be_v compare_v to_o fire_n that_o purge_v the_o gold_n and_o consume_v the_o dross_n of_o it_o and_o unto_o a_o file_n that_o scour_v off_o the_o rust_n of_o

the_o gold_n in_o consume_v the_o dross_n neither_o the_o file_n hurt_v the_o iron_n in_o take_v away_o the_o rust_n neither_o do_v the_o purgation_n hurt_v the_o body_n in_o expel_v of_o ill_a

to_o keep_v we_o in_o some_o tolerable_a estate_n of_o health_n so_o the_o cross_n recover_v we_o out_o of_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o it_o and_o preserve_v we_o from_o many_o which_o
