what_o strange_a fight_n do_v we_o see_v in_o this_o poor_a and_o miserable_a creature_n what_o difficulty_n do_v he_o not_o find_v when_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o forsake_v his_o sin_n and_o when_o

be_v that_o be_v necessary_a to_o forsake_v sin_n it_o go_v away_o and_o forsake_v the_o creature_n that_o be_v delay_v from_o day_n to_o day_n the_o other_o reason_n take_v from_o sin_n be_v
