or_o good_a work_n rob_v god_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o can_v give_v he_o true_a thanks_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o redemption_n for_o we_o can_v give_v to_o any_o creature_n the_o least_o joy_n that_o may_v be_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o we_o commit_v sacrilege_n against_o god_n the_o creator_n and_o therefore_o renounce_v ourselves_o and_o every_o live_a creature_n let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n unto_o the_o king_n everlasting_a immortal_a 1.17_o 1._o tim._n 1.17_o invisible_a unto_o god_n only_o wise_a be_v honour_n and_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o
