and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o order_n many_o excellent_a sermon_n have_v little_a effect_n for_o where_o judgement_n by_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o convince_v there_o many_o exhortation_n fall_v to_o

of_o man_n heart_n they_o be_v set_v down_o more_o piercing_o this_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o first_o and_o last_o commandment_n of_o the_o second_o table_n in_o the_o first_o when_o the_o lord_n
