be_v this_o that_o though_o a_o good_a man_n may_v not_o for_o some_o time_n be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n yet_o at_o that_o time_n and_o in_o that_o case_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n

do_v not_o mourn_v but_o he_o will_v mourn_v and_o will_v love_v that_o minister_n that_o shall_v pierce_v his_o heart_n a_o wicked_a man_n can_v endure_v he_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o a_o good_a man_n dare_v not_o stitle_v the_o check_n of_o conscience_n a_o wicked_a man_n when_o conscience_n begin_v to_o trouble_v he_o he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o still_o the_o cry_v of_o conscience_n when_o conscience_n do_v arrest_v a_o wicked_a man_n for_o debt_n they_o run_v not_o unto_o god_n they_o make_v conscience_n drink_v with_o
