the_o truth_n of_o the_o comparison_n appear_v therefore_o first_o in_o this_o relative_a sense_n although_o second_o it_o be_v absolute_o true_a also_o that_o the_o day_n of_o death_n be_v better_a

this_o indeed_o ought_v most_o proper_o so_o to_o be_v call_v if_o so_o deserve_v at_o death_n we_o may_v know_v on_o who_o most_o proper_o to_o fasten_v the_o christian_a name_n the_o name_n of_o
