of_o life_n oh_o if_o we_o can_v all_o attain_v to_o this_o if_o any_o number_n of_o we_o can_v do_v it_o i_o will_v not_o say_v the_o whole_a nation_n but_o if_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o it_o

require_v a_o yet_o much_o great_a proportion_n but_o yet_o why_o may_v not_o god_n find_v so_o much_o a_o great_a number_n among_o we_o i_o trust_v he_o have_v do_v it_o else_o he_o will_v not_o
