you_o have_v give_v i_o that_o libert_n and_o i_o think_v may_v be_v do_v without_o much_o difficulty_n if_o we_o consider_v when_o solomon_n say_v there_o be_v nothing_o new_a under_o the_o sun_n he_o mean_v it_o only_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o sinful_a and_o deprave_a temper_n and_o inclination_n of_o man_n which_o will_v be_v always_o the_o same_o produce_v the_o same_o mischief_n and_o

be_v distinguish_v and_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o they_o begin_v to_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o when_o they_o see_v the_o daughter_n of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o

'_o thought_n and_o imagination_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v only_o evil_a continual_o to_o bring_v a_o deluge_n upon_o the_o earth_n to_o destroy_v '_o they_o now_o the_o same_o corruption_n of_o

all_o the_o world_n over_o the_o sad_a and_o dreadful_a effect_n of_o the_o evil_a thought_n and_o imagination_n of_o their_o heart_n which_o will_v improve_v continual_o till_o the_o great_a

for_o building_n happiness_n upon_o the_o weak_a and_o frail_a foundation_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n which_o solomon_n at_o that_o time_n be_v essay_v to_o do_v and_o upon_o the_o full_a trial_n that_o

too_o there_o be_v some_o invention_n so_o beneficial_a to_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o be_v once_o know_v they_o can_v ever_o be_v lose_v or_o lay_v aside_o as_o the_o

of_o late_a age_n and_o by_o this_o they_o prove_v the_o world_n itself_o be_v new_a some_o thousand_o year_n since_o for_o have_v it_o be_v from_o eternity_n thing_n so_o obvious_a and_o easy_a

they_o be_v too_o considerable_a for_o you_o to_o blast_v yet_o be_v they_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o sin_n so_o nothing_o new_a according_a to_o solomon_n but_o many_o thing_n not_o new_a to_o all_o be_v so_o to_o those_o who_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o world_n and_o have_v but_o little_a experience_n which_o i●_n my_o case_n for_o bookseller_n to_o turn_v author_n be_v news_n to_o
