to_o do_v justice_n to_o love_v mercy_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n sum_n up_o the_o whole_a law_n in_o our_o love_n to_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n and_o

will_v measure_v out_o his_o kindness_n to_o we_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o we_o measure_v out_o we_o to_o one_o another_o the_o reason_n why_o religion_n shall_v be_v both_o a_o short_a and_o

may_v conclude_v that_o since_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n be_v lay_v in_o common_a upon_o all_o the_o poor_a day-labourer_n must_v have_v ability_n and_o opportunity_n sufficient_a to_o instruct_v

as_o well_o as_o closet_n form_n of_o prayer_n as_o if_o god_n have_v not_o be_v in_o all_o their_o thought_n the_o reason_n whereof_o seem_v to_o be_v because_o their_o formal_a petition_n supersede_n their_o habitual_a endeavour_n man_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o since_o they_o spend_v in_o every_o day_n such_o a_o portion_n of_o time_n in_o prayer_n they_o have_v do_v all_o their_o part_n and_o so_o they_o leave_v god_n almighty_a to_o take_v care_n of_o the_o event_n and_o this_o be_v indeed_o all_o we_o can_v do_v when_o we_o make_v our_o petition_n to_o our_o benefactor_n upon_o earth_n viz._n offer_v up_o our_o request_n to_o they_o either_o by_o word_n or_o writing_n and_o then_o only_o expect_v their_o answer_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o
