therein_o but_o that_o there_o be_v not_o grace_n and_o mercy_n declare_v and_o tender_v in_o the_o gospel_n also_o unto_o all_o sort_n of_o sinner_n under_o any_o qualification_n whatever_o who_o

continue_v to_o love_v they_o while_o they_o contitinue_v to_o be_v good_a but_o hate_v they_o when_o they_o return_v to_o their_o old_a vice_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v there_o be_v great_a

be_v god_n take_v a_o course_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v destroy_v notwithstanding_o our_o sin_n that_o as_o before_o the_o least_o sin_n can_v

of_o christ_n the_o great_a sin_n can_v do_v we_o no_o hurt_n but_o we_o shall_v escape_v with_o a_o notwithstanding_o our_o sin_n this_o it_o seem_v we_o learn_v from_o a_o acquaintance_n with_o
