yea_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o one_o great_a reason_n why_o man_n abide_v so_o long_o in_o the_o earth_n and_o do_v not_o mount_v up_o into_o the_o heaven_n themselves_o i_o mean_v why_o they_o

it_o have_v somewhat_o of_o weight_n in_o it_o that_o custom_n become_v a_o second_o nature_n imply_v that_o whatsoever_o man_n shall_v for_o a_o long_a time_n have_v accustom_v themselves_o unto_o

their_o long_a accustomedness_n thereunto_o render_v it_o a_o matter_n very_o hard_a and_o difficult_a for_o any_o man_n whosoever_o to_o remove_v they_o off_o their_o stand_n herein_o yea_o though_o their_o foot_n all_o this_o while_o have_v be_v set_v in_o slippery_a place_n and_o he_o that_o desire_v to_o remove_v they_o do_v it_o only_o in_o order_n to_o this_o great_a design_n viz._n that_o they_o may_v now_o stand_v in_o everlasting_a felicity_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o transplantation_n in_o this_o kind_n become_v comparative_o as_o difficult_a and_o almost_o as_o hard_o as_o the_o change_n of_o nature_n itself_o or_o the_o turn_v she_o out_o of_o her_o course_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n i_o suppose_v it_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n him-himself_a speak_v thus_o

indeed_o it_o will_v seem_v very_o strange_a to_o see_v a_o man_n who_o own_v himself_o as_o minister_v of_o the_o gospel_n who_o of_o all_o other_o ought_v to_o apply_v himself_o so_o to_o the_o
