that_o we_o may_v both_o often_o and_o serious_o think_v on_o this_o our_o end_n and_o the_o infinite_a happiness_n it_o contain_v and_o that_o in_o all_o we_o undertake_v our_o affection_n be_v not_o

be_v very_o grateful_a and_o sweet_a and_o therefore_o a_o pious_a life_n which_o consist_v of_o such_o action_n be_v not_o a_o crabbed_a and_o unpleasant_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o life_n

preserve_v from_o fall_v into_o other_o far_o more_o hurtful_a and_o worse_a to_o be_v digest_v wherefore_o that_o these_o also_o be_v sweet_a in_o their_o effect_n not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o future_a life_n but_o even_o of_o the_o present_a and_o like_o a_o bitter_a potion_n to_o be_v swallow_v with_o a_o joyful_a hope_n of_o the_o health_n they_o induce_v the_o second_o point_n again_o since_o a_o pious_a disquiet_v life_n order_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o action_n to_o one_o end_n so_o render_v they_o all_o conformable_a to_o one_o another_o it_o clear_o exempt_v

the_o three_o point_n three_o since_o our_o contentment_n body_n be_v make_v for_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o one_o for_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o other_o it_o follow_v
