solitary_a in_o wood_n and_o cave_n like_o beast_n and_o savages_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n 2._o we_o see_v in_o the_o great_a world_n how_o all_o

now_o if_o as_o learned_a hooker_n observe_v those_o voluntary_a action_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n which_o do_v most_o resemble_v the_o necessary_a work_n of_o nature_n then_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a so_o in_o the_o politic_a body_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v every_o part_n shall_v have_v a_o main_a ear_n of_o the_o whole_a therefore_o it_o be_v our_o natural_a duty_n to_o

the_o public_a but_o refer_v all_o thing_n to_o ourselves_o and_o our_o domestic_a commodity_n yet_o because_o these_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o universality_n it_o be_v our_o

with_o our_o endeavour_n and_o devotion_n the_o least_o we_o can_v do_v be_v to_o pray_v for_o she_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o bind_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n but_o because_o jerusalem_n
