there_o be_v none_o other_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o alliance_n and_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v with_o he_o through_o faith_n bring_v it_o for_o otherwise_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o perfect_a communion_n and_o so_o the_o alliance_n shall_v not_o be_v full_a if_o there_o be_v no_o participation_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a such_o as_o it_o shall_v and_o ought_v

of_o the_o church_n how_o that_o jesus_n christ_n can_v not_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n unless_o he_o have_v as_o well_o a_o humane_a soul_n as_o a_o humane_a body_n m._n i_o understand_v
