of_o god_n worship_n indeed_o the_o consideration_n how_o other_o sin_n against_o god_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o argument_n to_o draw_v we_o unto_o sin_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n to_o draw_v we_o from_o sin_n thus_o every_o sin_n against_o god_n it_o be_v a_o strike_n at_o god_n simile_n simile_n it_o be_v true_a if_o there_o be_v a_o common_a enemy_n

they_o strike_v at_o god_n and_o i_o must_v have_v my_o blow_n at_o he_o too_o as_o well_o as_o they_o in_o any_o sin_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o example_n but_o above_o all_o in_o matter_n of_o
