strict_a account_n of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o from_o search_v diligent_o into_o their_o own_o life_n that_o so_o they_o may_v discover_v their_o own_o imperfection_n and_o judge_n and_o condemn_v they_o in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v not_o very_o well_o content_a when_o other_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o do_v it_o for_o they_o and_o to_o lay_v open_a their_o sin_n and_o corruption_n
