observe_v these_o few_o rule_n first_o the_o obligatory_a power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n depend_v upon_o the_o one_o and_o sole_a authority_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n who_o be_v god_n he_o that_o

obedience_n must_v not_o be_v partial_a but_o universal_a unto_o the_o whole_a law_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o proceed_v from_o that_o faith_n which_o without_o indulgence_n or_o dispensation_n

thence_o spread_v like_o line_n from_o a_o centre_n unto_o the_o whole_a circumference_n of_o our_o nature_n unto_o our_o word_n action_n gesture_n unto_o all_o our_o part_n without_o crooked_a

difference_n in_o the_o measure_n and_o magnitude_n of_o the_o effect_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v infallible_o true_a that_o all_o or_o most_o of_o those_o holy_a fruit_n do_v in_o some_o season_n or_o other_o bud_n forth_o of_o that_o stock_n which_o be_v quicken_v by_o faith_n though_o sometime_o in_o some_o man_n less_o discernible_a by_o reason_n of_o corruption_n interpose_v for_o it_o usual_o thus_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o grace_n be_v but_o like_o the_o army_n of_o gedeon_n a_o small_a handful_n whereas_o our_o corruption_n be_v like_o the_o midianit_n which_o lie_v on_o the_o ground_n as_o grasshopper_n innumerable_a but_o yet_o in_o these_o god_n crown_v his_o own_o mean_a gist_n with_o victory_n and_o success_n so_o then_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o propose_v let_v the_o
