as_o a_o blessing_n to_o his_o posterity_n will_v deserve_v the_o high_a mark_n of_o favour_n from_o all_o good_a man_n and_o may_v therein_o also_o expect_v a_o blessing_n from_o heaven_n liberty_n say_v you_o be_v indeed_o a_o fine_a word_n but_o remember_v brethren_n what_o the_o apostle_n peter_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o some_o there_o be_v that_o while_o they_o promise_v they_o liberty_n

of_o our_o life_n and_o of_o so_o great_a value_n that_o i_o think_v he_o that_o have_v feel_v the_o want_n of_o it_o will_v not_o easy_o be_v entice_v to_o make_v a_o forfeiture_n of_o his_o
