of_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n in_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o but_o only_o reflect_v on_o our_o saviour_n lowly_a and_o humble_a deportment_n while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o have_v none_o of_o those_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n which_o may_v just_o humble_v the_o best_a of_o man_n but_o he_o be_v so_o entire_o swallow_v up_o with_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o the_o infinite_a

shine_v in_o his_o bless_a soul_n as_o not_o his_o own_o but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o assume_v nothing_o to_o himself_o for_o they_o but_o with_o the_o profound_a humility_n
