be_v to_o keep_v the_o fire_n burn_v it_o be_v a_o fond_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o quench_v his_o fire_n and_o then_o think_v to_o keep_v himself_o still_o warm_a it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o

the_o radiancy_n of_o the_o radical_a fundamental_a grace_n they_o be_v the_o flame_n of_o they_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o coal_n of_o fire_n that_o lie_v on_o the_o hearth_n

of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o thing_n 1._o there_o be_v the_o gift_n themselves_o the_o habit_n infuse_v the_o habit_n of_o faith_n hope_n and_o love_n 2._o there_o be_v the_o use_n and_o exercise_n and_o

mean_v now_o see_v what_o spirit_n signify_v we_o be_v to_o inquire_v in_o what_o sense_n and_o after_o what_o sort_n the_o spirit_n may_v be_v quench_v quench_v it_o may_v be_v or_o else_o the_o counsel_n be_v in_o vain_a not_o to_o quench_v it_o and_o again_o if_o it_o may_v be_v quench_v it_o may_v be_v a_o uncomfortable_a thing_n what_o comfort_n can_v a_o man_n have_v in_o have_v god_n
