have_v do_v it_o but_o he_o that_o do_v persevere_v still_o heap_v afresh_o new_a benefit_n upon_o they_o which_o he_o have_v already_o do_v shall_v enforce_v the_o receiver_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o

that_o by_o these_o three_o grace_n will_v signify_v three_o kind_n of_o benefyte_n namely_o the_o benefit_n which_o be_v give_v the_o benefit_n which_o be_v receive_v and_o the_o benefit_n which_o

thereby_o that_o those_o that_o be_v of_o good_a nature_n ought_v when_o they_o bestow_v benefyte_n which_o may_v sound_v to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o other_o no_o less_o to_o rejoice_v and_o show_v
