than_o thus_o one_o be_v in_o the_o end_n to_o be_v none_o and_o less_o than_o none_o division_n be_v a_o ill_a companion_n to_o glory_n perpetuity_n and_o safety_n a_o house_n divide_v a_o kingdom_n a_o city_n can_v stand_v truth_n that_o can_v lie_v have_v speak_v it_o and_o those_o divide_a shall_v sure_o feel_v it_o one_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o all_o number_n without_o which_o no_o number_n

man_n nay_o we_o be_v all_o the_o of_o spring_n of_o god_n himself_o who_o be_v simplicissima_fw-la unitas_fw-la the_o most_o simple_a unity_n and_o we_o can_v be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o his_o

one_o charity_n so_o in_o my_o text_n one_o man_n one_o goodness_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v excellent_a any_o kind_n of_o way_n in_o nature_n or_o in_o grace_n we_o must_v be_v one_o as_o many_o member_n make_v but_o one_o body_n many_o branch_n but_o one_o tree_n many_o grain_n but_o one_o loaf_n so_o many_o person_n by_o faith_n and_o love_n make_v but_o one_o church_n my_o dove_n
