in_o two_o point_n the_o first_o be_v in_o discharge_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n the_o second_o be_v in_o present_v we_o blameless_a before_o his_o father_n in_o such_o perfect_a obedience_n as_o the_o

these_o word_n 5.19_o as_o by_o one_o man_n his_o disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o also_o be_v make_v righteous_a the_o tree_n must_v

from_o we_o our_o root_n be_v rot_v in_o adam_n and_o therefore_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n accordingly_z we_o must_v therefore_o be_v graft_v into_o christ_n and_o then_o draw_v power_n from_o he_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n that_o shall_v be_v please_v unto_o he_o and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n according_a as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v in_o john_n as_o the_o branch_n can_v not_o
