why_o many_o good_a man_n want_v these_o may_v be_v to_o try_v stir_v up_o quicken_v and_o refine_v all_o heavenly_a grace_n in_o they_o and_o so_o to_o increase_v their_o glory_n and_o happiness_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o some_o ill_a man_n enjoy_v they_o may_v be_v for_o their_o great_a mi_fw-it ery_z and_o punishment_n in_o the_o ill_a use_n of_o they_o o_o perhaps_o lest_o
