man_n on_o god_n as_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v a_o friend_n to_o both_o to_o god_n as_o god_n to_o man_n as_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v a_o umpire_n to_o be_v a_o dayman_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n and_o he_o have_v do_v it_o to_o purpose_n make_v that_o good_a in_o heaven_n that_o he_o do_v on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o labour_v to_o make_v a_o gracious_a use_n of_o all_o this_o i_o know_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o useful_a no_o point_n of_o divinity_n more_o pregnant_a no_o great_a spring_n of_o sanctify_a duty_n then_o that_o god_n and_o man_n be_v
