your_o rule_n see_v how_o contrary_a you_o walk_v to_o it_o and_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v and_o christ_n he_o say_v mat._n 7.14_o because_o straight_o be_v the_o gate_n and_o

when_o my_o day_n be_v at_o a_o end_n then_o as_o to_o my_o employment_n of_o periwig_n make_v it_o be_v more_o than_o twelve_o year_n since_o i_o begin_v to_o make_v they_o &_o much_o may_v be_v

but_o my_o prayer_n and_o cry_n be_v for_o god_n to_o deliver_v i_o for_o i_o can_v not_o deliver_v myself_o out_o of_o it_o but_o here_o i_o lie_v one_o day_n after_o another_o cry_n to_o god_n to_o
