after_o the_o ordinance_n no_o question_n but_o david_n have_v communion_n with_o god_n in_o prvate_a in_o his_o closet_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n he_o be_v not_o neglective_a of_o private_a duty_n

in_o they_o a_o gracious_a soul_n carry_v always_o a_o temple_n with_o he_o but_o this_o do_v not_o satisfy_v and_o content_v this_o holy_a man_n no_o he_o must_v enjoy_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o meeting_n of_o his_o people_n the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o david_n and_o so_o with_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v because_o ordinance_n be_v the_o institution_n of_o

it_o be_v that_o god_n in_o the_o necessary_a want_n or_o restraint_n of_o public_a ordinance_n be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o up_o another_o way_n if_o he_o please_v god_n promise_v his_o people_n
