hence_o that_o young_a man_n way_n or_o course_n be_v corrupt_a and_o filthy_a and_o the_o only_a mean_n of_o cleanse_v they_o be_v god_n word_n by_o which_o they_o must_v rule_v and_o regulate_v their_o way_n that_o be_v their_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n and_o therefore_o because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v spiritual_a and_o contradict_v the_o headstrong_a lust_n of_o young_a person_n they_o do_v not_o love_v to_o read_v or_o meditate_v on_o it_o how_o few_o will_v serious_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o read_n of_o a_o chapter_n or_o two_o in_o a_o day_n though_o they_o

the_o ordinary_a mean_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o their_o conversion_n it_o be_v more_o out_o of_o custom_n than_o love_n and_o when_o they_o come_v home_o from_o hear_v they_o forget_v
