deceiver_n so_o if_o you_o will_v apply_v your_o heart_n as_o thorough_o to_o knowledge_n and_o goodness_n you_o may_v then_o become_v like_o the_o apostle_n which_o teach_v you_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n show_v man_n the_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o wisdom_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o give_v thy_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n let_v wisdom_n enter_v into_o thy_o heart_n get_v wisdom_n keep_v wisdom_n embrace_v wisdom_n thus_o we_o have_v learn_v how_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o knowledge_n that_o it_o may_v do_v we_o good_a that_o we_o may_v say_v with_o the_o

the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v the_o second_o note_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n as_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o death_n so_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v one_o that_o make_v a_o man_n to_o apy_o his_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n for_o when_o he_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n to_o live_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o spend_v it_o well_o like_o moses_n of_o who_o it_o be_v write_v that_o when_o he_o consider_v he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a season_n to_o live_v he_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o child_n of_o god_n then_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n this_o wisdom_n the_o father_n call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o call_v the_o best_a wisdom_n because_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v it_o be_v hard_o to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o to_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a liâe_z and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremy_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n and_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o the_o

of_o our_o day_n let_v we_o therefore_o consider_v what_o a_o harvest_n we_o have_v lose_v which_o happy_o before_o this_o day_n have_v never_o pray_v with_o moses_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v teach_v
