be_v keep_v up_o with_o a_o little_a more_o seriousness_n some_o more_o preparation_n and_o devotion_n but_o because_o people_n be_v a_o little_a apprehensive_a of_o this_o many_o take_v the_o best_a

according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o man_n constitution_n so_o they_o have_v choose_v various_a way_n that_o do_v most_o suit_n with_o their_o temper_n and_o by_o a_o great_a zeal_n about_o

to_o offer_v this_o up_o to_o god_n be_v to_o bring_v wildfire_n and_o kindle_v it_o on_o his_o altar_n there_o be_v two_o sad_a indication_n that_o declare_v the_o zeal_n of_o the_o great_a part_n

be_v concern_v that_o other_o shall_v glorify_v god_n when_o he_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o dishonour_v he_o himself_o or_o that_o the_o sincere_a belief_n or_o pure_a way_n of_o worship_n may_v be_v preserve_v when_o he_o so_o care_n as_o if_o he_o neither_o believe_v in_o his_o heart_n nor_o worship_v god_n in_o his_o spirit_n god_n be_v not_o mock_v but_o discern_v through_o all_o our_o

that_o it_o be_v fix_v on_o a_o better_a principle_n than_o either_o passion_n or_o interest_n may_v have_v a_o deep_a root_n and_o a_o strong_a operation_n may_v be_v more_o acceptable_a with_o god_n

that_o show_v our_o zeal_n about_o religion_n be_v not_o what_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v appear_v in_o these_o unnatural_a heat_n that_o grow_v every_o day_n among_o ourselves_o for_o thing_n of_o which_o to_o speak_v modest_o a_o man_n must_v say_v they_o deserve_v not_o that_o warmth_n which_o we_o bestow_v on_o they_o if_o a_o man_n be_v so_o far_o free_a from_o the_o contagion_n which_o
