must_v destroy_v more_o and_o more_o true_a generosity_n and_o virtue_n and_o introduce_v meanness_n and_o narrowness_n of_o soul_n thus_o if_o true_a piety_n be_v esteem_v a_o love_n of_o god_n for_o

or_o less_o a_o diminution_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o his_o own_o excellence_n and_o consequent_o prove_v a_o diminution_n of_o piety_n because_o whilst_o god_n be_v belove_v only_o as_o

towards_o any_o deserve_a object_n worthy_a of_o love_n and_o admiration_n for_o its_o own_o sake_n such_o as_o be_v god_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n if_o the_o love_n and_o desire_v of_o life_n or_o

or_o the_o rule_n and_o order_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o the_o less_o be_v his_o piety_n and_o if_o his_o resignation_n depend_v whole_o on_o that_o expectation_n of_o infinite_a reward_n the_o
