and_o immortality_n and_o glory_n far_o transcend_v the_o splendour_n and_o lustre_n of_o this_o world_n which_o christ_n say_v his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o but_o consist_v in_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n in_o which_o peaceable_a spirit_n of_o righteousness_n we_o desire_v all_o may_v be_v find_v and_o not_o be_v busy_v in_o matter_n relate_v to_o outward_a government_n and_o rule_n

as_o good_a soldier_n of_o christ_n to_o endure_v hardship_n suffer_v not_o as_o evil_a doer_n but_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o the_o
