the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o privy_a corruption_n that_o lurk_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o maintain_v continual_a war_n against_o they_o as_o paul_n do_v rom._n 7._o and_o this_o we_o shall_v the_o rather_o do_v because_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a and_o yet_o a_o usual_a judgement_n of_o god_n and_o that_o upon_o many_o professor_n that_o
