close_v in_o with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o will_v willing_o take_v he_o upon_o his_o own_o term_n only_o they_o be_v muddy_a in_o their_o mind_n and_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v the_o understanding_n of_o the_o term_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o two_o covenanss_n they_o be_v keep_v off_o from_o close_v with_o christ_n and_o all_o be_v because_o they_o see_v they_o can_v do_v nothing_o as_o for_o example_n come_v to_o some_o soul_n and_o ask_v they_o how_o they_o do_v they_o will_v tell_v you_o present_o that_o they_o be_v so_o bad_a that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v express_v if_o you_o bid_v they_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n they_o will_v answer_v that_o they_o can_v believe_v if_o you_o ask_v they_o why_o they_o can_v believe_v they_o will_v answer_v because_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o hard_o so_o dead_a so_o dull_a so_o backward_o to_o good_a duty_n and_o if_o their_o heart_n be_v but_o better_a if_o they_o be_v more_o earnest_n if_o they_o can_v pray_v better_o and_o keep_v

filthy_a now_o all_o this_o be_v because_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o law_n still_o rule_v in_o such_o a_o soul_n and_o blind_v they_o so_o that_o they_o can_v see_v the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n

will_v never_o come_v to_o christ_n as_o a_o sinner_n and_o if_o so_o then_o christ_n will_v not_o receive_v thou_o and_o if_o so_o than_o thou_o may_v see_v that_o to_o keep_v off_o from_o christ_n because_o thou_o can_v not_o do_v be_v to_o keep_v from_o christ_n by_o the_o law_n and_o to_o stand_v of_o from_o he_o because_o thou_o can_v not_o buy_v he_o thus_o have_v speak_v something_o by_o
