bestow_v this_o benefit_n upon_o i_o than_o i_o will_v praise_v he_o for_o it_o as_o we_o shall_v do_v thus_o for_o all_o god_n benefit_n he_o we_o shall_v more_o special_o praise_n god_n for_o

set_v forth_o his_o glory_n the_o more_o we_o take_v our_o ease_n and_o set_v out_o ourselves_o to_o the_o world_n and_o grow_v more_o proud_a and_o be_v less_o careful_a to_o glorify_v god_n as_o most_o common_o it_o fall_v out_o then_o we_o provoke_v god_n to_o take_v they_o away_o or_o to_o punish_v we_o in_o they_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o consider_v what_o good_a he_o do_v with_o all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o how_o by_o god_n blessing_n as_o wealth_n and_o such_o like_a not_o his_o own_o name_n be_v advance_v but_o what_o good_a he_o have_v do_v since_o for_o the_o service_n
