heart_n fill_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n will_v endure_v the_o fiery_a trial_n ii_o as_o a_o full_a vessel_n be_v more_o firm_a and_o stable_a but_o a_o empty_a one_o less_o steady_a and_o more_o easy_a to_o be_v overthrow_v so_o a_o soul_n fill_v with_o god_n love_n be_v more_o staid_a and_o steady_a in_o good_a and_o the_o practice_n thereof_o than_o a_o heart_n void_a of_o love_n iii_o as_o a_o full_a vessel_n be_v in_o no_o part_n separate_v from_o the_o liquor_n it_o hold_v so_o a_o spiritual_o love_v and_o religious_a heart_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o god_n in_o

be_v good_a from_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v vi_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n be_v bend_v downward_o towards_o the_o earth_n spill_v or_o shed_v part_n of_o the_o

the_o full_a vessel_n will_v receive_v no_o other_o liquor_n except_o part_v of_o thâ—t_n which_o it_o hold_v be_v empty_v out_o so_o the_o heart_n fill_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n or_o worldly_a thing_n viii_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n be_v strike_v sound_v not_o so_o where_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v there_o affliction_n be_v undergo_v without_o murmur_v ix_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n become_v empty_a and_o run_v out_o if_o there_o be_v any_o crack_n or_o cleft_n therein_o so_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o sincere_a but_o dissemble_v all_o show_v or_o seem_n of_o love_n will_v soon_o be_v lose_v x._o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n hold_v and_o have_v more_o within_o than_o be_v see_v without_o so_o a_o heart_n fill_v
