to_o david_n party_n can_v the_o son_n of_o jesse_n give_v you_o vineyard_n or_o olive-yard_n etc._n etc._n so_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o can_v the_o world_n give_v you_o what_o god_n can_v all_o that_o

three_o we_o be_v next_o to_o inquire_v by_o which_o you_o will_v be_v most_o advantage_v whether_o by_o a_o conformity_n to_o god_n or_o the_o world_n to_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v large_o before_o

of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a the_o world_n can_v thunder_v out_o threaten_n against_o those_o that_o conform_v not_o to_o she_o but_o tell_v i_o be_v that_o thunder_n like_o in_o terror_n to_o that_o thunder_n we_o hear_v in_o the_o word_n and_o the_o threaten_n of_o it_o against_o those_o that_o conform_v to_o a_o wicked_a world_n the_o world_n can_v threaten_v with_o bond_n and_o

and_o now_o you_o have_v hear_v all_o this_o consider_v serious_o of_o it_o and_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o world_n be_v worthy_a your_o conformity_n or_o whether_o you_o be_v at_o all_o engage_v
