the_o misery_n of_o a_o natural_a man_n consist_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o consequence_n of_o sin_n the_o fault_n and_o the_o guilt_n malum_fw-la culpae_fw-la malum_fw-la

sufficient_a needs_o no_o more_o proof_n but_o to_o point_v at_o that_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v already_o for_o see_v our_o salvation_n must_v be_v wrought_v by_o another_o and_o he_o that_o wrought_v it_o be_v christ_n what_o can_v be_v further_a requisite_a then_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o merit_n be_v make_v we_o which_o can_v be_v do_v by_o faith_n only_o beside_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o affection_n between_o god_n and_o man_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o bond_n that_o unite_v and_o knit_v we_o to_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o

it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v adopt_v to_o be_v his_o son_n and_o adorn_v with_o his_o son_n holiness_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o have_v
