be_v it_o because_o there_o be_v great_a uprightness_n in_o they_o than_o there_o be_v in_o other_o no_o sure_o it_o be_v because_o they_o have_v a_o more_o blind_a mind_n and_o a_o more_o proud_a

out_o of_o the_o way_n &_o move_v he_o to_o turn_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n three_o we_o must_v especial_o beware_v of_o presumptuous_a sin_n for_o if_o we_o live_v therein_o our_o heart_n will_v cease_v to_o smite_v we_o or_o at_o least_o we_o shall_v be_v senseless_a of_o these_o stroke_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n when_o he_o have_v cut_v off_o the_o lap_n
