yet_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a creature_n i_o shall_v sin_v again_o and_o again_o and_o bring_v guilt_n upon_o my_o conscience_n yet_o come_v to_o christ_n here_o be_v free_a grace_n in_o christ_n and_o

of_o jacob._n from_o hence_o this_o note_n plain_o result_v that_o let_v there_o be_v never_o so_o much_o seem_v severity_n in_o any_o law_n of_o god_n in_o any_o commandment_n that_o require_v duty_n yet_o even_o this_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v account_v a_o inheritance_n unto_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o be_v as_o the_o joy_n of_o their_o heart_n they_o account_v their_o

take_v upon_o they_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n as_o necessary_a burden_n they_o must_v do_v they_o i_o but_o the_o saint_n those_o that_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o take_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o as_o that_o wherein_o their_o riches_n their_o glory_n the_o joy_n of_o their_o heart_n do_v consist_v and_o therefore_o how_o often_o do_v you_o hear_v of_o david_n say_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v sweet_a to_o he_o then_o honey_n and_o the_o honey_n comb_n that_o they_o be_v more_o delightful_a to_o he_o then_o gold_n

of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v better_o than_o all_o these_o so_o that_o here_o be_v the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a he_o perform_v duty_n not_o only_o as_o a_o way_n to_o
