a_o true_a sense_n of_o god_n that_o people_n be_v so_o seldom_o at_o prayer_n so_o hardly_o draw_v to_o it_o so_o cold_a and_o careless_a and_o as_o it_o be_v unconcern_v at_o it_o right_o

that_o purpose_n we_o shall_v look_v every_o day_n for_o he_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o contemplate_v those_o beauty_n and_o glory_n under_o which_o he_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n for_o there_o we_o have_v a_o true_a revelation_n of_o his_o essence_n and_o attribute_n there_o he_o be_v represent_v as_o a_o be_v so_o great_a and_o holy_a so_o immense_a and_o glorious_a so_o omnipotent_a and_o omniscient_a so_o wise_a and_o powerful_a so_o communicative_a kind_a and_o beneficent_a and_o in_o every_o respect_n so_o amiable_a and_o adorable_a that_o be_v
