of_o servant_n of_o god_n both_o more_o eminent_a and_o small_a in_o this_o world_n 2._o how_o or_o why_o they_o fall_v all_o under_o the_o prohibition_n of_o serve_v god_n any_o long_o here_o in_o the_o world_n than_o the_o finish_v such_o a_o course_n of_o service_n on_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o their_o line_n prescribe_v by_o god_n 3._o why_o this_o prohibition_n be_v serve_v upon_o they_o by_o death_n two_o person_n only_o enoch_n and_o elias_n and_o why_o they_o only_o except_v herein_o i_o shall_v with_o all_o the_o care_n and_o caution_n according_a to_o the_o understanding_n give_v to_o i_o by_o and_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n discourse_v each_o of_o these_o point_n 1._o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o wonder_n of_o divine_a grace_n and_o power_n that_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v
