not_o trouble_v their_o head_n about_o religion_n swearer_n drunkard_n atheist_n blasphemer_n beast_n and_o brute_n live_v to_o a_o prodigious_a age_n sometime_o without_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v not_o therefore_o the_o conscientious_a man_n that_o live_v long_o in_o the_o world_n a_o loser_n by_o his_o fear_n for_o though_o he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o he_o that_o live_v in_o contempt_n of_o his_o law_n do_v both_o enjoy_v the_o same_o blessing_n even_o long_a life_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o blessing_n for_o in_o the_o former_a blessing_n come_v from_o a_o father_n hand_n in_o the_o other_o from_o a_o judge_n in_o the_o former_a it_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o love_n in_o the_o other_o of_o mere_a generosity_n in_o the_o former_a it_o come_v by_o promise_n in_o the_o other_o by_o a_o large_a and_o diffusive_a bounty_n to_o the_o former_a it_o be_v give_v that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o blessing_n to_o his_o neighbour_n to_o the_o other_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o scourge_n and_o rod_n to_o those_o who_o live_v near_o he_o in_o the_o former_a it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o virtue_n in_o the_o other_o of_o natural_a

servant_n which_o god_n scorn_v to_o leave_v unrewarded_a and_o as_o the_o service_n will_v bear_v no_o big_a reward_n so_o god_n put_v he_o of_o with_o a_o blessing_n of_o his_o left_a hand_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o blessing_n in_o the_o former_a this_o long_a life_n be_v in_o order_n to_o great_a

his_o wife_n and_o child_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n will_v preserve_v all_o these_o yet_o the_o heedless_a wretch_n will_v take_v no_o warning_n do_v these_o man_n believe_v another_o life_n do_v you_o
