robe_n of_o glory_n be_v put_v on_o till_o those_o rag_n of_o mortality_n be_v put_v off_o and_o on_o upon_o this_o account_n be_v death_n acceptable_a to_o a_o godly_a man_n 2._o not_o absolute_a

in_o order_n to_o that_o glory_n to_o desire_v it_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n when_o god_n pleasure_n be_v manifest_a for_o life_n to_o rejoice_v in_o hope_n of_o bring_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o

be_v very_o observable_a shall_v the_o dust_n praise_v thou_o shall_v it_o declare_v 9_o thy_o truth_n so_o david_n the_o grave_n can_v praise_v death_n can_v celebrate_v thou_o so_o hezechiah_n they_o see_v death_n will_v render_v 18._o they_o useless_a for_o god_n honour_n and_o therefore_o principal_o they_o pray_v against_o it_o it_o let_v we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o frame_n of_o a_o

before_o god_n advance_v his_o glory_n and_o perform_v his_o service_n upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o one_o have_v ibidem_fw-la fit_o take_v notice_n how_o david_n do_v not_o say_v i_o
