compare_v with_o god_n we_o may_v true_o say_v of_o all_o the_o honour_n riches_n greatness_n grandeur_n and_o glory_n of_o this_o world_n compare_v with_o god_n as_o gideon_n sometime_o say_v of_o

this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v always_o a_o infinite_a distance_n between_o what_o be_v finite_a and_o what_o be_v infinite_a and_o such_o a_o portion_n god_n be_v by_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o god_n be_v a_o incomparable_a portion_n but_o now_o all_o earthly_a portion_n be_v comparable_a portion_n you_o may_v easy_o and_o safe_o compare_v one_o earthly_a portion_n with_o another_o one_o prince_n revenue_n may_v be_v comparable_a to_o another_o and_o one_o great_a man_n lordship_n may_v be_v comparable_a to_o another_o
