to_o itself_o and_o when_o the_o commissioner_n die_v that_o commissionate_a world_n end_v with_o they_o otherwise_o thou_o may_v call_v god_n a_o liar_n to_o promise_v he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o to_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n and_o many_o hundred_o year_n ago_o they_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o yet_o this_o world_n remain_v so_o that_o as_o i_o know_v the_o command_n be_v to_o none_o but_o they_o and_o to_o hold_v no_o long_o than_o the_o life_n of_o they_o so_o i_o know_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o one_o commission_n here_o below_o be_v the_o end_n of_o another_o as_o thou_o be_v not_o

end_n of_o another_o by_o which_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o divine_a revelation_n in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n be_v the_o more_o admire_v to_o behold_v the_o seem_a contrariety_n of_o these_o three_o commission_n that_o one_o put_v a_o period_n to_o the_o other_o as_o a_o great_a light_n cloud_n the_o use_n of_o the_o other_o not_o but_o the_o moon_n be_v a_o true_a light_n in_o herself_o but_o live_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n so_o the_o apostle_n light_v be_v more_o glorious_a than_o that_o of_o the_o law_n
