with_o i_o into_o the_o world_n the_o latter_a i_o commit_v while_o i_o live_v therein_o and_o both_o these_o sort_n of_o sin_n deserve_v eternal_a death_n and_o can_v only_o be_v pardon_v by_o the_o

believe_v that_o he_o impute_v to_o they_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o own_o son_n and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o by_o mean_n thereof_o account_v they_o just_a in_o his_o sight_n i_o believe_v that_o all_o who_o be_v justify_v and_o thus_o acquit_v have_v holiness_n in_o some_o degree_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o life_n which_o holiness_n though_o it_o can_v altogether_o discharge_v they_o from_o sin_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o reign_v over_o they_o so_o that_o a_o justify_v person_n be_v not_o under_o its_o dominion_n nor_o yield_v himself_o a_o vassal_n to_o it_o but_o resist_v its_o command_n and_o make_v it_o die_v daily_o and_o for_o the_o great_a security_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n god_n have_v commit_v to_o his_o minister_n a_o indispensible_a power_n and_o charge_n to_o preach_v faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o forgiveness_n he_o have_v likewise_o appoint_v they_o to_o pray_v and_o
