the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n can_v consist_v with_o holiness_n but_o it_o can_v consist_v with_o the_o love_n of_o holiness_n the_o love_n of_o holiness_n for_o where_o sin_n be_v in_o dominion_n there_o sin_n have_v the_o love_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o love_v sin_n and_o to_o love_v holiness_n i_o grant_v it_o that_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o

reconcile_v they_o into_o a_o objective_a unity_n that_o which_o be_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o love_n in_o one_o be_v a_o reason_n of_o hatred_n in_o the_o other_o now_o sin_n and_o holiness_n be_v opposite_a they_o be_v at_o the_o great_a distance_n in_o spiritual_a contradiction_n their_o nature_n and_o course_n and_o effect_n all_o be_v opposite_a so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v at_o once_o
