to_o bring_v man_n to_o despair_n which_o he_o have_v to_o bring_v man_n to_o senseless_a security_n therefore_o here_o we_o may_v say_v as_o they_o sing_v of_o saul_n and_o david_n desperation_n

of_o desperation_n and_o of_o senselessness_n come_v from_o one_o cause_n and_o that_o be_v the_o neglect_n of_o the_o prick_v and_o wound_n of_o conscience_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o give_v we_o so_o fair_a warning_n from_o a_o monitour_n within_o our_o own_o bosom_n the_o warning_n other_o give_v we_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o except_v against_o we_o can_v except_v against_o
