forbear_v thus_o to_o torment_v i_o lest_o in_o plague_v i_o these_o man_n conclude_v that_o all_o who_o honour_v thou_o will_v be_v thus_o use_v o_o do_v not_o gratify_v those_o bold_a professor_n

that_o he_o be_v indeed_o then_o all_o his_o falsehood_n be_v discover_v his_o timorous_a spirit_n soon_o do_v liquify_v his_o soul_n begin_v to_o shrink_v he_o can_v apply_v himself_o to_o god_n

let_v loose_v the_o reins_o of_o inclination_n unclean_a and_o run_v like_o mad_a man_n into_o all_o temptation_n then_o as_o in_o youthful_a vein_n his_o blood_n do_v rage_n and_o he_o must_v find_v
