sanctuary_n the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o after-age_n follow_v the_o same_o rule_n and_o without_o any_o scruple_n put_v upon_o themselves_o the_o same_o obligation_n for_o have_v a_o due_a

as_o know_v that_o thankfulness_n be_v a_o necessary_a virtue_n by_o the_o eternal_a law_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o the_o design_n of_o god_n who_o change_v not_o can_v not_o but_o be_v the_o same_o

in_o relation_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o grateful_a remembrance_n and_o suitable_a return_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n this_o design_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v embrace_v with_o all_o

that_o he_o shall_v therefore_o bless_v we_o that_o he_o may_v receive_v praise_n from_o we_o and_o purchase_v his_o glory_n by_o the_o expense_n of_o his_o goodness_n if_o god_n who_o enjoy_v
