the_o only_a good_a and_o the_o sole_a author_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n so_o then_o this_o grace_n may_v be_v style_v indifferent_o either_o fear_n or_o love_n and_o it_o be_v

and_o that_o be_v sin_n which_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o aright_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n which_o we_o can_v proper_o call_v evil_a for_o every_o thing_n be_v good_a that_o god_n

so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o work_n of_o he_o that_o it_o deface_v and_o destroy_v his_o work_n it_o be_v a_o burden_n which_o weary_v the_o whole_a creation_n yea_o and_o the_o creator_n himself_o too_o for_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o because_o of_o this_o it_o repent_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v make_v man_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o grieve_v he_o at_o his_o heart_n the_o whole_a earth_n have_v be_v one_o continue_v and_o universal_a paradise_n until_o this_o day_n have_v not_o sin_v turn_v it_o into_o a_o desert_n it_o be_v this_o which_o have_v make_v the_o heaven_n
