may_v be_v thus_o explain_v namely_o it_o be_v to_o live_v according_a to_o his_o will_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n or_o it_o be_v to_o think_v speak_v and_o do_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o word_n 1._o we_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o thought_n or_o in_o our_o heart_n when_o we_o dare_v not_o allow_v ourselves_o to_o think_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o stamp_v with_o god_n

excellent_a greatness_n so_o when_o we_o fear_v love_n admire_v trust_v and_o desire_v he_o above_o all_o 2._o we_o glorify_v he_o in_o our_o word_n when_o our_o speech_n be_v not_o corrupt_v vain_a

thly_a what_o it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v god_n we_o may_v best_o conceive_v of_o it_o by_o what_o it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v a_o friend_n now_o this_o be_v we_o know_v to_o have_v his_o presence_n company_n and_o converse_v and_o to_o take_v delight_n in_o his_o society_n so_o to_o enjoy_v god_n it_o be_v to_o converse_v with_o god_n to_o be_v well-pleased_n with_o his_o gracious_a presence_n and_o not_o
