determine_v to_o serve_v god_n do_v not_o seldom_o fall_v concern_v the_o first_o many_o &_o very_o effectual_a be_v the_o reason_n which_o ought_v to_o move_v and_o invite_v all_o faithful_a

to_o make_v their_o salvation_n more_o certain_a to_o lay_v up_o the_o treasure_n of_o great_a merit_n in_o eternal_a felicity_n to_o procure_v more_o light_n and_o strength_n both_o to_o know_v and_o
