trouble_v at_o sensible_a evil_n because_o they_o be_v light_n for_o a_o moment_n and_o work_v for_o good_a if_o we_o be_v less_o take_v with_o sensible_a good_a thing_n and_o enjoy_v they_o as_o if_o

34._o 6._o then_o we_o grow_v in_o grace_n when_o we_o trust_v in_o god_n though_o outward_a and_o visible_a help_n do_v fail_v the_o lord_n who_o make_v all_o the_o creature_n though_o he_o use_v
