in_o all_o regard_v it_o be_v i_o say_v a_o large_a duty_n and_o i_o will_v show_v it_o in_o six_o thing_n first_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o our_o duty_n what_o duty_n be_v there_o for_o a_o

that_o we_o may_v please_v god_n why_o must_v child_n obey_v their_o parent_n but_o that_o they_o may_v therein_o please_v god_n i_o can_v go_v about_o no_o duty_n but_o if_o i_o mean_v to_o do_v it_o aright_o i_o must_v propound_v this_o end_n that_o i_o may_v please_v god_n second_o it_o be_v large_a in_o that_o it_o be_v the_o most_o acceptable_a of_o all_o duty_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o form_n and_o life_n of_o all_o performance_n prayer_n be_v abomination_n to_o god_n unless_o we_o please_v god_n in_o that_o action_n the_o please_a of_o god_n be_v that_o which_o put_v life_n in_o that_o duty_n which_o we_o undertake_v philip._n 4._o 19_o the_o apostle_n combine_v these_o two_o acceptable_a and_o well_o please_v and_o they_o can_v well_o be_v separate_a if_o any_o sacrifice_n
