and_o he_o must_v be_v eternal_o glorify_v by_o we_o in_o heaven_n therefore_o he_o must_v confer_v upon_o we_o a_o eternal_a suitable_a estate_n enable_v we_o to_o give_v he_o glory_n for_o all_o

the_o promise_n make_v unto_o we_o but_o a_o eternal_a estate_n agree_v unto_o the_o promise_n of_o eternity_n we_o do_v in_o this_o life_n and_o shall_v in_o that_o to_o come_v receive_v nothing_o
