sufficient_o censure_v already_o when_o i_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o we_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o help_v our_o infirmity_n but_o i_o shall_v tell_v he_o further_o that_o if_o ever_o he_o come_v to_o have_v any_o experience_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o own_o soul_n to_o see_v the_o sinfulness_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o that_o he_o be_v eternal_o

and_o sin_n beg_v for_o those_o grace_n they_o want_v offer_v up_o praise_n for_o such_o mercy_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v and_o turn_v his_o instruction_n to_o they_o into_o petition_n for_o they_o without_o hazard_n of_o blasphemy_n or_o nonsense_n let_v he_o give_v we_o his_o reason_n why_o all_o minister_n and_o christian_n must_v be_v tie_v up_o to_o the_o form_n of_o other_o who_o have_v no_o more_o right_a to_o those_o promise_v abovemention_v than_o themselves_o and_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o event_n have_v have_v a_o lesser_a share_n of_o they_o than_o many_o other_o have_v
