but_o serviceable_a with_o they_o in_o heb._n 13._o 15._o we_o be_v exhort_v to_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n to_o god_n continual_o that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o lip_n give_v

be_v always_o unhappy_a he_o who_o pore_n only_o upon_o his_o want_n and_o what_o he_o desire_v who_o be_v impatient_a under_o every_o affliction_n and_o cross_n and_o abuse_v himself_o and_o his_o
