say_v that_o all_o god_n law_n as_o all_o his_o work_n be_v make_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o prerogative_n i_o answer_v that_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n so_o make_v

of_o the_o whole_a creation_n so_o he_o have_v make_v his_o law_n so_o that_o they_o may_v be_v for_o the_o great_a behoof_n of_o man_n for_o god_n seek_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o will_v have_v his_o goodness_n magnify_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o his_o power_n or_o wisdom_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o magnify_v his_o power_n only_o but_o to_o those_o that_o first_o
