burden_n of_o a_o base_a and_o pollute_a conscience_n religion_n can_v be_v so_o great_a a_o trouble_n as_o a_o guilty_a soul_n and_o whatsoever_o trouble_n can_v be_v fancy_v in_o this_o or_o any_o

life_n will_v be_v no_o trouble_n if_o we_o do_v not_o intricate_a it_o with_o business_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o labyrinth_n of_o care_n and_o impertinent_a affair_n seneca_n a_o man_n have_v
