A37987	A demonstration of the existence and providence of God, from the contemplation of the visible structure of the greater and the lesser world in two parts, the first shewing the excellent contrivance of the heavens, earth, sea, &c., the second the wonderful formation of the body of man / by John Edwards ...

and_o be_v of_o great_a use_n for_o the_o fertility_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o plant_n but_o second_o there_o be_v 2_o temperate_a zone_n which_o lie_v between_o the_o tropic_n and_o the_o polar_a
