of_o the_o dust_n to_o glory_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o as_o the_o death_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v precious_a to_o god_n so_o it_o be_v very_o gainful_a and_o advantageous_a to_o the_o saint_n himself_o for_o 1._o it_o separate_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n corruption_n impurity_n imperfection_n from_o his_o body_n of_o death_n 2._o from_o this_o vile_a and_o wicked_a world_n as_o the_o
