be_v perfect_a in_o this_o life_n in_o two_o respect_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o part_n because_o like_o infant_n we_o have_v all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o christian_n god_n

speak_v of_o the_o perfection_n of_o sanctification_n or_o of_o inherent_a holiness_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o we_o be_v not_o perfect_a but_o that_o we_o arise_v like_o a_o house_n by_o
