which_o be_v the_o second_o general_n head_n i_o propose_v to_o discourse_v upon_o and_o be_v include_v in_o the_o phrase_n rich_a towards_o god_n and_o to_o be_v so_o be_v as_o our_o saviour_n

and_o he_o that_o do_v so_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v rich_a towards_o god_n either_o as_o he_o perform_v a_o service_n high_o acceptable_a to_o god_n not_o that_o he_o be_v benefit_v by_o our_o
