to_o discover_v the_o impediment_n and_o to_o remove_v they_o and_o there_o be_v many_o advantage_n how_o to_o attain_v our_o end_n we_o must_v use_v this_o and_o this_o mean_n these_o and_o these_o

but_o a_o mere_a common_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o where_o true_a wisdom_n be_v there_o be_v love_n and_o patience_n and_o hope_v and_o all_o other_o grace_n to_o carry_v the_o whole_a

of_o this_o world_n that_o shall_v lie_v down_o in_o the_o dust_n with_o we_o and_o shall_v all_o depart_v and_o be_v go_v it_o appear_v than_o he_o have_v a_o sanctify_a judgement_n he_o discern_v

he_o trouble_v not_o himself_o with_o impertinency_n he_o spend_v not_o more_o time_n than_o need_v about_o worldly_a thing_n he_o use_v they_o as_o they_o may_v help_v his_o work_n to_o be_v better_a
