this_o life_n the_o eternal_a concern_v of_o heaven_n especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o christian_a religion_n all_o along_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v advance_v morality_n and_o put_v the_o great_a esteem_n upon_o it_o of_o any_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o the_o doctrine_n of_o self-denial_n therein_o urge_v further_o than_o any_o
