of_o his_o own_o freewill_n for_o the_o second_o god_n do_v that_o which_o belong_v to_o he_o that_o be_v he_o give_v man_n a_o perfect_a law_n require_v he_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o love_n of_o

and_o more_o extensive_a or_o comprehensive_a than_o himself_o for_o none_o can_v communicate_v more_o than_o he_o have_v but_o if_o thou_o a●t_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v everywhere_o
