yet_o it_o be_v only_o our_o sin_n that_o make_v death_n to_o be_v evil_a and_o i_o desire_v this_o to_o be_v observe_v because_o it_o be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o vindicate_v the_o divine_a justice_n

single_a person_n in_o his_o own_o eternal_a interest_n but_o that_o piety_n which_o must_v be_v a_o spring_n of_o blessing_n and_o communicative_a to_o other_o that_o must_v plead_v against_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o ancestor_n and_o begin_v a_o new_a bank_n of_o mercy_n for_o the_o relative_n that_o must_v be_v a_o great_a and_o excellent_a a_o very_a religious_a state_n of_o life_n a_o small_a
