and_o governor_n in_o general_n for_o its_o object_n faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o assent_n to_o god_n as_o the_o first_o truth_n reveal_v his_o mind_n to_o man_n or_o a_o reliance_n upon_o he_o as_o

we_o can_v neither_o love_v ourselves_o or_o our_o neighbour_n aright_o for_o our_o love_n of_o god_n must_v measure_v and_o qualify_v both_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o and_o our_o neighbour_n
