the_o true_a god_n than_o heathen_n be_v in_o perform_v it_o unto_o their_o idol_n which_o by_o nature_n be_v no_o god_n therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v be_v the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n thou_o

the_o one_o of_o they_o you_o can_v say_v he_o serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n we_o must_v therefore_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o we_o use_v

to_o be_v observe_v of_o we_o if_o we_o will_v show_v ourselves_o zealous_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v first_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v and_o affect_v good_a man_n cherish_v they_o and_o

such_o be_v never_o in_o david_n such_o be_v never_o in_o joshuah_n we_o count_v he_o no_o love_a subject_n that_o harbour_v those_o who_o despise_v &_o resist_v the_o law_n of_o his_o sovereign_n
