be_v that_o which_o the_o great_a god_n look_v for_o from_o and_o enjoin_v upon_o his_o people_n and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o that_o then_o they_o lie_v short_a of_o their_o duty_n and_o want_v a_o

of_o performance_n of_o it_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o rob_n of_o the_o holy_a god_n as_o well_o as_o it_o deprive_v their_o own_o soul_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o other_o of_o much_o sweet_a and_o heavenly_a joy_n and_o refreshment_n we_o may_v also_o infer_v that_o those_o who_o think_v they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o sing_v with_o he_o that_o sing_v when_o they_o approve_v of_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o song_n and_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o be_v mistake_v see_v there_o be_v no_o proper_a mental_a or_o heart-singing_a or_o join_v that_o way_n with_o other_o in_o sing_v
