upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o lead_v i_o now_o to_o the_o melancholy_a part_n of_o this_o sad_a solemnity_n i_o confess_v i_o enter_v upon_o it_o with_o the_o just_a apprehension_n that_o it_o

usefulness_n as_o well_o as_o the_o excellence_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o a_o life_n that_o be_v entire_o dedicate_v to_o it_o and_o see_v what_o they_o can_v object_v i_o ought_v to_o

many_o great_a and_o good_a thing_n that_o they_o see_v in_o he_o and_o from_o thence_o to_o remember_v always_o to_o how_o vast_a a_o sublimity_n the_o christian_a religion_n can_v raise_v a_o mind_n that_o do_v both_o thorough_o believe_v it_o and_o be_v entire_o govern_v by_o it_o i_o may_v here_o also_o call_v up_o the_o multitude_n the_o vast_a multitude_n of_o those_o who_o have_v be_v make_v
