to_o perform_v any_o spiritual_a duty_n it_o be_v a_o pretty_a conceit_n of_o saint_n chrysostome_n in_o his_o first_o homily_n on_o genesis_n that_o m●se●_n 1._o s_o chrysost_n gen._n hom_n 1._o

think_v it_o a_o absurd_a and_o unfit_a thing_n to_o give_v commandment_n for_o they_o to_o observe_v who_o now_o have_v gorge_v themselves_o with_o meat_n no_o man_n be_v so_o unfit_a for_o the_o

we_o shall_v be_v heedful_a that_o our_o heart_n be_v not_o overcharge_v with_o surfeit_v be_v because_o it_o make_v our_o soul_n unfit_a for_o the_o performance_n of_o spiritual_a duty_n it_o make_v
