as_o general_a truth_n be_v bring_v home_o by_o particular_a application_n so_o they_o seal_v man_n particular_a interest_n in_o the_o covenant_n he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n he_o

they_o can_v give_v no_o direct_a remedy_n these_o sign_n and_o seal_n take_v this_o for_o grant_v and_o can_v make_v proof_n of_o it_o but_o when_o this_o be_v assent_v to_o in_o the_o general_n he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n and_o he_o that_o feed_v upon_o he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o here_o soul_n be_v confirm_v in_o their_o particular_a interest_n that_o the_o son_n be_v
