the_o effect_n and_o product_v of_o sense_n the_o poor_a wretch_n see_v some_o terrible_a work_n of_o god_n and_o tremble_v or_o feel_v something_o of_o the_o weight_n of_o god_n hand_n hence_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o impression_n be_v off_o his_o sense_n the_o fear_n and_o dread_n of_o god_n be_v also_o off_o his_o heart_n and_o thus_o it_o will_v be_v with_o all_o that_o fear_v which_o be_v
