but_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o although_o god_n have_v make_v we_o promise_n of_o his_o mercy_n we_o may_v not_o tempt_v he_o lie_v down_o and_o sleep_v careless_o but_o diligent_o to_o look_v for_o &_o use_v such_o help_n &_o mean_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o to_o work_v by_o god_n work_v all_o goodness_n in_o we_o himself_o &_o yet_o have_v appoint_v mean_n for_o we_o to_o use_v &_o do_v

and_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o good_a end_n we_o must_v think_v likewise_o of_o god_n do_n and_o ourselves_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n sin_n except_o that_o he_o work_v all_o in_o all_o yet_o not_o

some_o man_n may_v at_o some_o time_n do_v that_o another_o may_v not_o yea_o one_o man_n himself_o can_v do_v at_o all_o time_n that_o he_o may_v well_o do_v at_o sometime_o but_o this_o general_a
