vow_n upon_o vow_n without_o any_o serious_a sense_n of_o their_o force_n and_o without_o any_o real_a hearty_a endeavour_n to_o answer_v and_o pay_v they_o many_o there_o be_v alas_o too_o too_o many_o who_o be_v solemn_o dedicate_v to_o god_n by_o baptism_n in_o their_o infancy_n who_o own_a the_o obligation_n of_o their_o baptismal_a vow_n when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n and_o afterward_o

and_o yet_o all_o this_o while_n they_o have_v no_o serious_a suitable_a sense_n of_o their_o force_n they_o heap_v vow_n upon_o vow_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n without_o ever_o hearty_o and_o in_o
