move_v and_o then_o stand_v still_o but_o when_o the_o light_n pierce_v into_o your_o mind_n and_o make_v a_o broad_a day_n there_o when_o a_o secret_a fire_n creep_v into_o your_o vein_n and_o continue_v to_o burn_v in_o your_o heart_n when_o all_o your_o affection_n be_v carry_v away_o and_o remain_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o truth_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n you_o must_v read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n themselves_o not_o to_o store_v your_o mind_n with_o high_a notion_n or_o to_o replenish_v it_o with_o a_o large_a furniture_n and_o matter_n of_o discourse_n or_o to_o find_v

which_o they_o read_v much_o like_o some_o writer_n we_o have_v see_v who_o report_v the_o history_n of_o their_o time_n take_v notice_n of_o little_a more_o than_o of_o joust_n and_o tornament_n of_o
