of_o domestic_a mercy_n to_o and_o for_o god_n to_o some_o possible_o the_o duty_n as_o general_o propound_v may_v seem_v novel_a and_o strange_a and_o not_o at_o all_o belong_v now_o to_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o sure_o as_o it_o be_v reduce_v to_o these_o head_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o stand_n and_o constant_a duty_n and_o that_o which_o in_o all_o age_n ever_o have_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o man_n a_o word_n and_o but_o a_o word_n to_o each_o of_o these_o particular_n first_o to_o dedicate_v the_o house_n it_o be_v to_o enter_v upon_o it_o by_o solemn_a prayer_n and_o praise_n i_o speak_v to_o this_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o word_n show_v that_o dedication_n be_v the_o enter_v upon_o a_o place_n or_o take_v possession_n of_o it_o by_o solemn_a religious_a rite_n or_o act_n it_o be_v a_o religious_a entrance_n upon_o possession_n now_o what_o be_v these_o religious_a rite_n or_o act_n they_o be_v prayer_n and_o
