it_o be_v all_o the_o good_a and_o sweetness_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o purity_n of_o god_n worship_n whereby_o god_n reveal_v himself_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v not_o gold_n wealth_n nor_o

that_o bring_v god_n presence_n to_o a_o people_n god_n forsake_v shiloh_n because_o his_o ordinance_n be_v not_o pure_o keep_v there_o when_o the_o people_n leave_v the_o ark_n viz_o his_o pure_a

maintain_v god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n the_o want_n of_o which_o be_v under_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n and_o damnation_n because_o we_o have_v more_o need_n of_o god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n
