then_o thou_o may_v free_o apply_v the_o comfort_n that_o be_v here_o out_o of_o this_o scripture_n and_o last_o let_v i_o speak_v to_o those_o to_o who_o this_o consolation_n do_v belong_v that_o

take_v heed_n of_o repeat_v that_o same_o sin_n again_o and_o again_o take_v heed_n of_o lie_v in_o sin_n a_o long_a time_n and_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v harden_v in_o sin_n for_o if_o ever_o thou_o
