from_o the_o second_o verse_n we_o hear_v that_o few_o be_v to_o be_v save_v and_o the_o power_n of_o damnation_n be_v a_o equal_a enemy_n to_o all_o and_o at_o all_o time_n ready_a to_o take_v hold_n of_o we_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v watchful_a see_v we_o know_v not_o etc._n etc._n from_o the_o three_o verse_n we_o find_v it_o true_a that_o most_o of_o man_n content_v themselves_o with_o a_o show_n of_o grace_n and_o preparation_n and_o so_o labour_v with_o cunning_a and_o industry_n that_o they_o may_v be_v damn_v and_o with_o this_o show_n consume_v the_o time_n which_o they_o neither_o
