particular_n 1._o we_o shall_v remember_v to_o contract_v our_o expense_n and_o retrench_v from_o the_o usual_a entertainment_n of_o life_n to_o exceed_v the_o proportion_n of_o nature_n and_o

it_o be_v true_a the_o vulgar_a must_v have_v some_o sensible_a advantage_n to_o strike_v their_o organ_n and_o therefore_o those_o who_o bear_v a_o public_a character_n be_v allow_v to_o enlarge_v

the_o mystery_n of_o a_o double_a communion_n stand_v there_o be_v no_o countenance_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n that_o i_o can_v learn_v it_o be_v true_a the_o prophet_n be_v send_v to_o the_o ten_o
