both_o these_o faculty_n of_o understanding_n and_o will_n we_o may_v reasonable_o conjecture_v that_o the_o end_n of_o almighty_n god_n in_o create_v man_n be_v to_o make_v such_o a_o creature_n as_o

there_o be_v these_o particularity_n in_o the_o humane_a nature_n that_o singular_o commend_v man_n each_o to_o other_o namely_o 1._o a_o great_a love_n and_o propensity_n to_o communion_n and_o

which_o particularity_n and_o accommodation_n of_o humane_a nature_n subservient_fw-fr to_o mutual_a society_n and_o love_n it_o seem_v reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o the_o wise_a god_n intend_v

accommodation_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n we_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o the_o wise_a god_n in_o lodging_n of_o these_o particularity_n in_o the_o humane_a nature_n have_v one_o end_n and_o design_n to_o make_v humane_a nature_n beneficent_a and_o useful_a to_o mankind_n and_o to_o humane_a society_n and_o therefore_o that_o precept_n so_o often_o inculcate_v by_o christ_n and_o
