of_o our_o sin_n be_v seal_v unto_o those_o reason_n take_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n i_o may_v add_v two_o other_o principal_a reason_n take_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o the_o

the_o apostle_n say_v cor._n 6._o that_o you_o be_v wash_v that_o you_o be_v cleanse_v that_o you_o be_v sanctify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o god_n so_o that_o they_o that_o sorrow_n right_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n to_o fear_n even_o to_o fear_v hell_n god_n wrath_n the_o devil_n and_o their_o own_o estate_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o work_v the_o sorrow_n wash_v the_o soul_n that_o breed_v the_o fear_n bring_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n that_o defile_v their_o cheek_n with_o tear_n cleanse_v their_o soul_n from_o sin_n also_o for_o one_o spirit_n work_v all_o and_o in_o all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n so_o that_o while_o we_o lie_v open_a our_o sin_n we_o

the_o spirit_n work_v in_o we_o do_v seal_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n plain_o show_v in_o the_o five_o to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o say_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n
