how_o to_o measure_v the_o power_n of_o a_o humane_a soul_n in_o its_o state_n of_o light_n and_o enjoyment_n if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n then_o be_v such_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n capable_a of_o such_o elevation_n of_o spirit_n of_o infinite_a enjoyment_n what_o pity_n be_v it_o that_o god_n shall_v intrust_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n with_o such_o a_o precious_a jewel_n what_o pity_n be_v it_o that_o this_o heavenborn_a creature_n shall_v be_v suffer_v to_o trifle_v away_o its_o time_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o which_o be_v worse_o to_o wallow_v in_o filth_n and_o brutishness_n and_o at_o last_o descend_v into_o everlasting_a darkness_n and_o eternal_a wail_n curse_v and_o blaspheme_v of_o that_o god_n which_o it_o be_v make_v to_o admire_v and_o adore_v to_o love_n and_o praise_n to_o all_o eternity_n 3._o i_o hasten_v to_o the_o 3d_o acception_n of_o light_n as_o it_o be_v take_v for_o purity_n of_o heart_n holiness_n of_o life_n in_o reference_n to_o practice_n in_o this_o sense_n also_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n above_o be_v a_o state_n of_o light_n because_o a_o state_n of_o the_o great_a purity_n in_o this_o sense_n our_o saviour_n

in_o the_o path_n they_o shall_v walk_v in_o that_o by_o the_o beauty_n of_o our_o conversation_n they_o may_v be_v enamour_a and_o charm_v into_o a_o compliance_n and_o glorify_v god_n by_o a_o
