to_o that_o one_o principal_a namely_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n hereby_o shall_v we_o know_v rule_n the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o affection_n if_o they_o be_v

that_o though_o 1_o there_o be_v some_o fear_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o proportionable_a to_o the_o mean_n we_o have_v be_v better_o teach_v then_o to_o fear_n god_n so_o little_a we_o have_v
