again_o in_o that_o they_o offer_v a_o calf_n it_o signify_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o offer_v our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n of_o that_o that_o cost_v we_o nothing_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o

that_o which_o be_v here_o intend_a be_v trial_n we_o must_v give_v thanks_n for_o other_o four_o rule_n of_o trial_n that_o we_o shall_v give_v thanks_n for_o other_o as_o well_o as_o for_o

to_o give_v thanks_n for_o we_o praise_n as_o any_o be_v more_o heavenly_a mind_a they_o be_v more_o frequent_a in_o praise_n we_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v such_o as_o for_o who_o thanks_n may_v

word_n be_v consider_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n thus_o much_o of_o his_o thanksgiving_n pray_v for_o you_o first_n contrariwise_o a_o child_n of_o god_n never_o give_v thanks_n but_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o pray_v and_o contrariwise_o in_o general_a from_o the_o join_v together_o of_o these_o two_o duty_n two_o thing_n may_v be_v observe_v first_o that_o a_o child_n of_o god_n never_o give_v

in_o their_o distress_n but_o the_o main_a particular_a doctrine_n be_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o ourselves_o but_o for_o other_o and_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 2.1_o seem_v
