be_v young_a as_o you_o ought_v to_o remember_v your_o creator_n so_o as_o to_o turn_v to_o he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n so_o you_o ought_v to_o remember_v your_o sin_n so_o as_o to_o turn_v from_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n have_v any_o of_o you_o be_v bear_v without_o sin_n and_o live_v without_o sin_n there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o occasion_n for_o your_o

the_o devil_n will_v persuade_v you_o it_o be_v too_o soon_o and_o the_o flesh_n will_v persuade_v you_o it_o be_v too_o soon_o to_o repent_v and_o your_o companion_n in_o sin_n will_v persuade_v
