rather_o to_o scare_v man_n than_o to_o hurt_v they_o and_o cause_v conscience_n to_o smite_v they_o that_o if_o that_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n he_o may_v hold_v his_o hand_n for_o it_o be_v

at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n of_o secret_a sin_n as_o the_o text_n say_v god_n will_v bring_v every_o secret_a thing_n to_o light_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v evil_a

indeed_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n it_o be_v say_v he_o will_v come_v like_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n yea_o when_o god_n come_v to_o ruin_v person_n or_o nation_n

so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o use_n second_o use_v the_o next_o use_n or_o corollary_n be_v this_o if_o conscience_n be_v such_o a_o smiter_n as_o have_v be_v show_v than_o it_o be_v no_o
