this_o be_v opposite_a to_o grace_n grace_n work_v a_o new_a creation_n in_o the_o soul_n 3._o and_o grace_n be_v of_o a_o elevate_a nature_n raise_v the_o heart_n above_o its_o self_n and_o above_o

but_o as_o the_o drop_n of_o the_o bucket_n and_o as_o the_o small_a dust_n in_o the_o balance_n now_o grace_n make_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v like_o god_n to_o accout_v all_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o
