they_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o although_o they_o see_v how_o little_o true_o suffice_v and_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o far_o less_o may_v if_o therefore_o christian_n be_v full_o convince_v that_o their_o life_n will_v not_o last_v for_o ever_o and_o if_o they_o believe_v that_o a_o endless_a state_n be_v to_o follow_v they_o will_v proportion_v their_o thought_n to_o their_o interest_n a_o

day_n be_v sufficient_a for_o it_o for_o who_o be_v there_o that_o can_v say_v as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v during_o that_o short_a space_n order_v a-right_a his_o
