own_o action_n as_o not_o to_o fall_v frequent_o into_o the_o same_o know_a fault_n let_v we_o consider_v it_o in_o a_o familiar_a example_n what_o so_o common_a as_o swear_v now_o can_v it_o be_v doubt_v but_o any_o habitual_a swearer_n may_v with_o a_o strong_a resolution_n and_o diligent_a care_n retain_v himself_o one_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n from_o that_o sin_n sure_o it_o can_v not_o but_o if_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n why_o not_o then_o half_a a_o hour_n why_o not_o a_o hour_n a_o day_n a_o week_n a_o month_n a_o year_n the_o same_o care_n will_v still_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o the_o work_n will_v be_v more_o easy_a in_o the_o end_n than_o in_o the_o beginning_n for_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o habit_n which_o in_o the_o beginning_n sway_v powersul_o towards_o vice_n and_o make_v the_o first_o resistance_n difficult_a will_v in_o the_o end_n help_v as_o effectual_o towards_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n and_o make_v the_o conquest_n easy_a then_o will_v be_v experience_v the_o truth_n of_o those_o say_n that_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o 5.3_o grievous_a but_o that_o his_o 30._o yoke_n
