we_o may_v observe_v from_o hence_o blessing_n that_o we_o must_v pass_v from_o all_o worldly_a vanity_n before_o we_o can_v enjoy_v spiritual_a blessing_n that_o as_o christ_n pass_v from_o death_n

the_o vanity_n of_o this_o worldly_a life_n unto_o a_o spiritual_a and_o a_o heavenly_a conversation_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o possession_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n until_o there_o be_v
