have_v be_v fit_a for_o man_n improve_v and_o confirm_v in_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n what_o i_o have_v hitherto_o be_v discourse_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o mankind_n appear_v to_o i_o in_o

ask_v whether_o such_o creature_n as_o these_o be_v not_o fit_a object_n of_o the_o divine_a care_n and_o if_o they_o be_v fall_v of_o the_o divine_a compassion_n also_o suppose_v any_o of_o they_o

for_o the_o restoration_n and_o salvation_n of_o being_n who_o he_o have_v form_v after_o this_o excellent_a manner_n to_o who_o he_o have_v impart_v so_o many_o of_o his_o own_o perfection_n in_o

denomination_n also_o they_o be_v not_o proper_a object_n of_o the_o divine_a compassion_n even_o in_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o it_o be_v express_v by_o the_o undertake_n of_o our_o redeemer_n the_o method_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o contrive_v as_o i_o hope_v to_o show_v hereafter_o as_o not_o only_o to_o testify_v the_o compassion_n of_o god_n towards_o sinner_n but_o also_o his_o hatred_n of_o sin_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v therefore_o that_o such_o a_o method_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v the_o
