and_o abundance_n before_o your_o profit_n or_o your_o pleasure_n for_o here_o also_o abraham_n be_v your_o example_n and_o bid_v you_o do_v so_o who_o rather_o than_o fall_v out_o with_o his_o

the_o second_o general_n of_o my_o text_n namely_o abraham_n reason_n for_o this_o kind_a and_o peaceable_a temper_n to_o be_v maintain_v between_o lot_n and_o himself_o for_o we_o be_v brethren_n etc._n etc._n now_o a_o brother_n carry_v in_o its_o name_n all_o the_o endearment_n of_o nature_n the_o strong_a and_o most_o valiant_a argument_n for_o love_n that_o can_v be_v even_o those_o
