our_o bless_a saviour_n speak_v comparative_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v labour_v not_o for_o the_o meat_n which_o perish_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o pain_n you_o must_v take_v for_o that_o meat_n which_o endure_v unto_o life_n eternal_a you_o must_v take_v pain_n for_o this_o outward_a perish_a food_n but_o chief_o take_v your_o great_a pain_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o heavenly_a grace_n
