be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v without_o temptation_n when_o it_o chance_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o peter_n to_o labour_v all_o the_o night_n and_o to_o take_v no_o profit_n

and_o to_o cast_v all_o our_o care_n on_o the_o lord_n for_o i_o have_v know_v this_o often_o time_n by_o experience_n when_o the_o obedient_a child_n in_o a_o family_n have_v have_v misfortune_n
