for_o we_o see_v colour_n and_o apprehend_v they_o both_o as_o colour_n and_o as_o pleasant_a and_o delectable_a so_o a_o man_n may_v see_v a_o great_a heap_n of_o gold_n which_o belong_v to_o

not_o whether_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o saviour_n belong_v to_o we_o or_o not_o even_o as_o the_o infant_n that_o can_v make_v no_o use_n of_o discourse_n rely_v and_o trust_v to_o the_o mother_n
