which_o be_v true_o the_o better_a gift_n therefore_o three_o to_o speak_v home_o to_o the_o point_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n especial_o which_o as_o i_o conceive_v have_v a_o special_a influence_n

first_o gift_n be_v say_v to_o be_v better_a intrinsical_o and_o material_o as_o consider_v within_o their_o own_o compass_n and_o sphere_n and_o so_o those_o be_v the_o better_a gift_n which_o do_v serve_v best_a to_o polish_v the_o mind_n and_o understanding_n and_o reason_n and_o do_v raise_v the_o faculty_n and_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o a_o high_a and_o nobleâ—_n pitch_v thus_o there_o be_v some_o which_o do_v more_o than_o other_o and_o these_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v the_o better_a gift_n so_o they_o be_v both_o intend_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o to_o be_v esteem_v also_o by_o we_o but_o than_o second_o gift_n be_v likewise_o say_v to_o be_v better_a extrinsecal_o or_o extensive_o in_o their_o effect_n as_o they_o do_v more_o communicate_v and_o enlarge_v themselves_o beyond_o the_o subject_n in_o which_o they_o be_v to_o the_o good_a of_o other_o man_n thus_o those_o be_v the_o best_a gift_n which_o do_v tend_v best_a to_o edification_n and_o which_o in_o the_o
