name_n of_o these_o earthly_a blessing_n spiritual_a blessing_n be_v principal_o understand_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n use_v the_o name_n of_o these_o earthly_a blessing_n to_o express_v these_o spiritual_a blessing_n unto_o man_n which_o he_o principal_o intend_v unto_o they_o be_v because_o that_o as_o these_o spiritual_a blessing_n exceed_v the_o capacity_n of_o mortal_a man_n so_o there_o be_v no_o sufficient_a word_n sufficient_o ta_o express_n the_o excellency_n of_o they_o therefore_o god_n use_v the_o name_n of_o earthly_a blessing_n best_o know_v unto_o man_n to_o signify_v unto_o they_o those_o blessing_n which_o as_o yet_o their_o weakness_n can_v conceive_v of_o now_o that_o these_o earthly_a blessing_n promise_v to_o the_o observer_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o principal_o
