which_o i_o must_v pass_v by_o with_o a_o very_a little_a reference_n to_o they_o that_o so_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v read_v sing_v and_o perform_v all_o christian_a office_n with_o the_o

of_o sinner_n there_o can_v be_v a_o uniform_a proceed_n with_o all_o but_o we_o must_v vary_v according_a to_o their_o disposition_n some_o man_n be_v like_o thorn_n which_o if_o gentle_o touch_v
