by_o mean_n and_o that_o for_o our_o good_a as_o first_o that_o so_o he_o may_v teach_v we_o his_o sovereign_n power_n over_o all_o creature_n use_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n when_o and_o how_o

stir_v we_o up_o to_o true_a thankfulness_n unto_o he_o for_o it_o three_o that_o he_o may_v teach_v we_o thus_o not_o to_o abuse_v those_o his_o creature_n which_o with_o so_o excellent_a virtue_n and_o quality_n be_v create_v for_o we_o to_o do_v we_o good_a four_o that_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o this_o mean_n not_o to_o contemn_v 2._o cause_n and_o mean_n by_o abuse_v through_o a_o vain_a

will_n also_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v learn_v his_o use_v of_o they_o to_o be_v without_o need_n see_v he_o can_v work_v without_o they_o if_o he_o please_v second_o that_o when_o he_o use_v they_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v by_o they_o and_o not_o they_o without_o he_o as_o he_o give_v light_a in_o the_o sun_n he_o feed_v we_o in_o our_o meat_n etc._n etc._n for_o if_o without_o they_o

we_o which_o be_v needful_a and_o this_o we_o may_v well_o think_v be_v the_o cause_n here_o why_o it_o please_v god_n to_o show_v this_o tree_n that_o they_o may_v be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o

also_o why_o even_o contrary_a to_o nature_n he_o work_v often_o that_o neither_o to_o nature_n we_o shall_v tie_v he_o despair_v of_o health_n wealth_n or_o liberty_n when_o we_o see_v no_o mean_n
