life_n can_v make_v no_o impression_n where_o will_v be_v the_o object_n of_o thy_o love_n and_o joy_n when_o the_o heaven_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v the_o element_n melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n

sufficient_a manifestation_n of_o the_o great_a ingratitude_n and_o unworthiness_n of_o those_o who_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o want_n of_o reason_n or_o convictive_a
