what_o i_o know_v and_o believe_v more_o than_o i_o can_v conceive_v and_o i_o will_v worship_v the_o same_o majesty_n which_o the_o heavenly_a choir_n do_v in_o these_o address_n the_o church_n have_v now_o do_v her_o part_n and_o leave_v we_o to_o discharge_v the_o rest_n she_o have_v tell_v we_o the_o benefit_n and_o forewarn_v we_o of_o the_o danger_n let_v it_o be_v upon_o our_o own_o
