the_o open_a face_n of_o providence_n other_o than_o the_o universality_n of_o temporary_a live_n and_o die_v with_o their_o appurtenancy_n as_o they_o relate_v to_o every_o individual_a of_o life_n and_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o mortality_n be_v the_o total_a end_n of_o mankind_n there_o be_v nothing_o as_o they_o conceive_v in_o any_o method_n of_o providence_n that_o give_v any_o
