in_o short_a whatever_o people_n heart_n be_v set_v upon_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o follow_v with_o industry_n and_o eagerness_n and_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o spare_v of_o their_o time_n in_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n be_v because_o they_o want_v such_o a_o principle_n of_o vigour_n as_o make_v they_o profuse_a and_o prodigal_a in_o other_o case_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o bed_n or_o the_o belly_n rob_v the_o closet_n because_o their_o mind_n be_v not_o there_o that_o sport_n and_o pastime_n go_v away_o with_o those_o hour_n which_o meditation_n

as_o those_o jew_n do_v amos_n 8._o 5._o the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o be_v because_o they_o be_v lover_n of_o other_o thing_n more_o than_o of_o god_n or_o religion_n or_o their_o own_o eternal_a
