idle_a or_o too_o busy_a to_o attend_v upon_o it_o and_o even_o when_o we_o find_v leisure_n enough_o yet_o how_o cold_a and_o how_o insensible_a be_v we_o whilst_o it_o be_v go_v forward_o we_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o with_o our_o lip_n perhaps_o but_o our_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o and_o do_v we_o then_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o praise_v god_n becoming_o do_v we_o remember_v how_o the_o great_a teacher_n of_o thanksgiving_n summon_v up_o every_o one_o of_o his_o faculty_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o it_o praise_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n it_o be_v a_o work_n that_o will_v employ_v all_o that_o be_v within_o we_o that_o will_v call_v for_o all_o the_o application_n and_o vigour_n and_o warmth_n that_o we_o can_v possible_o bestow_v upon_o it_o cold_a unmoved_a praise_n be_v no_o praise_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o it_o can_v be_v no_o long_o acceptable_a than_o it_o be_v burn_v to_o those_o man_n who_o live_v in_o the_o contempt_n of_o this_o duty_n we_o have_v also_o something_o to_o say_v if_o they_o will_v but_o hear_v we_o they_o be_v general_o such_o as_o pretend_v a_o high_a sense_n of_o the_o

and_o low_a for_o such_o great_a mind_n to_o take_v up_o with_o yet_o this_o methinks_v may_v deserve_v to_o be_v think_v equal_a to_o '_o they_o let_v confession_n and_o prayer_n go_v only_o for_o the_o art_n of_o whine_a and_o beg_v and_o be_v as_o much_o beneath_o they_o as_o they_o imagine_v yet_o sure_o praise_n have_v something_o so_o great_a and_o so_o noble_a in_o it_o that_o they_o
