they_o look_v upon_o ordinance_n as_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v ordinance_n so_o precious_a indeed_o to_o they_o who_o have_v to_o do_v

to_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a frame_n we_o have_v often_o to_o do_v with_o ordinance_n and_o when_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o ordinance_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o

you_o may_v think_v there_o be_v no_o such_o need_n of_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o frame_n but_o see_v we_o be_v to_o do_v with_o he_o daily_o who_o be_v so_o pure_a and_o holy_a a_o god_n oh_o what_o
