our_o perfect_a good_a and_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v deny_v but_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o rejoice_v in_o god_n forever_o with_o the_o most_o intense_a degree_n of_o joy_n and_o it_o be_v our_o sin_n to_o do_v any_o less_o what_o be_v this_o part_n of_o our_o happiness_n then_o but_o a_o most_o necessary_a part_n of_o our_o perfect_a holiness_n and_o in_o all_o these_o we_o see_v that_o
