the_o lay_n down_o of_o our_o life_n we_o know_v be_v a_o expression_n of_o love_n that_o go_v very_o far_o and_o reach_v very_o high_a so_o then_o if_o we_o acknowledge_v a_o lawful_a authority_n

if_o he_o have_v lift_v up_o the_o like_a horn_n of_o salvation_n for_o they_o there_o have_v be_v the_o like_a example_n but_o there_o have_v not_o be_v the_o like_a engagement_n or_o provocation_n unto_o we_o to_o rise_v to_o those_o height_n of_o show_v love_n likewise_o where_o he_o shall_v appoint_v as_o now_o there_o be_v as_o the_o example_n of_o love_n which_o he_o have_v now_o show_v to_o man_n be_v not_o any_o such_o obligement_n upon_o the_o reprobate_a angel_n to_o show_v love_v anywhere_o as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v have_v themselves_o be_v the_o object_n of_o this_o love_n of_o he_o reason_n 3_o three_o like_o father_n like_o son_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o his_o father_n love_n and_o have_v go_v as_o high_a in_o the_o declaration_n

and_o happiness_n of_o a_o most_o miserable_a woeful_a and_o sinful_a world_n for_o we_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n simple_o as_o the_o ransom_n and_o

further_o as_o the_o free_a and_o glorious_a testimony_n and_o pledge_n of_o the_o unspeakable_a and_o unconceivable_a love_n of_o christ_n himself_o unto_o the_o world_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v
