whatever_o other_o may_v think_v of_o it_o to_o i_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o prime_a part_n of_o christian_a charity_n and_o the_o most_o want_v too_o in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v in_o like_a manner_n appear_v to_o all_o other_o who_o will_v but_o consider_v these_o follow_a particular_n namely_o i._n that_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v infinite_o more_o

terminate_v only_o upon_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o mortal_a life_n ii_o that_o by_o a_o exact_a scrutiny_n into_o the_o value_n of_o our_o live_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o there_o be_v 200_o

on_o these_o particular_n i_o think_v they_o carry_v their_o own_o evidence_n along_o with_o they_o all_o of_o they_o except_o the_o second_o and_o a_o little_a insight_n into_o the_o present_a
