the_o rest_n stand_v upon_o two_o strong_a ground_n first_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v common_a to_o god_n in_o this_o with_o all_o other_o but_o ordinary_a wise_a efficient_n or_o worker_n

accomplish_v his_o end_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o execution_n unless_o some_o overpowering_a impediment_n do_v lie_v in_o his_o way_n to_o it_o if_o you_o have_v bestow_v long_o and_o great_a cost_n upon_o any_o of_o your_o child_n to_o fit_v and_o prepare_v they_o for_o any_o employment_n the_o university_n suppose_v or_o other_o call_v do_v you_o then_o let_v these_o your_o child_n lie_v truant_n idle_a and_o asleep_a at_o home_n and_o not_o put_v they_o forth_o to_o that_o which_o you_o at_o first_o design_v that_o their_o education_n unto_o will_v you_o suffer_v they_o in_o this_o

of_o sanctification_n abide_v in_o it_o and_o righteousness_n accompany_v of_o it_o all_o that_o while_n look_v therefore_o as_o a_o child_n have_v two_o and_o but_o two_o way_n of_o live_v and_o when_o the_o one_o cease_v the_o other_o succeed_v or_o death_n will_v follow_v in_o the_o womb_n it_o live_v by_o nourishment_n from_o the_o navel_n without_o so_o much_o as_o breathe_v at_o the_o

be_v thus_o perfect_a and_o in_o the_o 12_o verse_n he_o explain_v himself_o that_o the_o imperfect_a be_v this_o our_o see_v now_o in_o a_o glass_n dark_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o
