this_o both_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a ordinary_o and_o at_o every_o time_n the_o family_n be_v call_v together_o to_o prayer_n it_o be_v well_o if_o a_o chapter_n be_v read_v either_o

since_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o baptismal_a covenant_n be_v contain_v all_o that_o be_v essential_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v account_v such_o which_o be_v

such_o gracious_a term_n of_o salvation_n and_o what_o vast_a obligation_n do_v lie_v upon_o we_o to_o discharge_v the_o same_o i_o be_o therefore_o i_o say_v persuade_v that_o a_o through_o

with_o the_o latter_a of_o these_o be_v bind_v up_o wake_v upon_o death_n between_o these_o three_o there_o will_v be_v a_o admirable_a rule_n provide_v for_o holy_a live_n and_o die_v and_o both_o
