engage_v we_o also_o to_o do_v or_o suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o they_o we_o can_v but_o draw_v this_o easy_a conclusion_n if_o he_o so_o love_v we_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o love_v one_o another_o

this_o earth_n this_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o great_a example_n serve_v to_o instruct_v our_o ignorance_n to_o quicken_v our_o dulness_n and_o to_o encourage_v our_o faint_n and_o

there_o be_v those_o who_o shine_v as_o light_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o earth_n there_o be_v many_o who_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v teach_v to_o live_v sober_o and_o
