and_o not_o to_o convince_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o sinfulness_n and_o danger_n of_o they_o will_v never_o have_v any_o good_a effect_n nay_o we_o may_v i_o know_v as_o well_o hope_v to_o rob_v a_o

of_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o the_o outward_a behaviour_n will_v suit_v well_o with_o the_o inward_a disposition_n of_o the_o humble_a heart_n the_o heart_n as_o the_o first_o or_o
