the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v dispense_v and_o because_o of_o their_o sinfulness_n and_o unprofitablenesse_n their_o burden_n be_v heavy_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n because_o it_o be_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o valley_n of_o vision_n though_o other_o man_n may_v go_v to_o hell_n that_o live_v in_o those_o part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o the_o word_n be_v never_o teach_v and_o where_o they_o

because_o they_o be_v son_n of_o belial_n and_o unholy_a and_o profane_a in_o their_o life_n therefore_o god_n do_v not_o account_v their_o knowledge_n and_o gift_n to_o be_v any_o thing_n because_o they_o do_v not_o practice_v what_o they_o do_v know_v oh_o then_o belove_v shall_v god_n account_v thy_o hear_n as_o nothing_o and_o thy_o pray_v as_o nothing_o because_o thou_o do_v not_o make_v

many_o time_n hear_v a_o duty_n command_v but_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o and_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n require_v but_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o keep_v they_o and_o such_o and_o such_o grace_n press_v to_o obtain_v but_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o get_v they_o answ_n for_o thy_o comfort_n know_v that_o do_v thou_o live_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n thou_o can_v never_o

you_o must_v not_o lie_v down_o under_o despondency_n of_o mind_n because_o you_o be_v not_o under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n wherein_o christ_n accept_v
