none_o can_v be_v ignorant_a last_o of_o all_o by_o that_o that_o man_n see_v by_o daily_a experience_n how_o they_o continual_o sin_v against_o this_o so_o perfect_a a_o law_n and_o perceive_v that_o

it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o distrust_v themselves_o &_o their_o own_o strength_n they_o grow_v to_o have_v a_o great_a and_o earnest_a desire_n of_o the_o promise_a saviour_n and_o redeemer_n and_o
