everlasting_o 8._o neither_o can_v sin_n condemn_v they_o therefore_o all_o thing_n be_v now_o turn_v clean_o contrary_a before_o we_o be_v hold_v damnation_n under_o the_o captivity_n of_o sin_n before_o we_o perceave_v that_o the_o devil_n by_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v a_o cruel_a tyrant_n against_o us._n before_o we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n escape_v the_o most_o bitter_a pain_n of_o death_n before_o we_o look_v for_o yea_o and_o that_o worthy_o everlasting_a damnation_n and_o the_o most_o cruel_a torment_n of_o hell_n fire_n but_o fromhensforth_o it_o shall_v no_o more_o

fromhensforth_o shall_v not_o exercise_v their_o tyranny_n against_o we_o as_o tofore_o they_o have_v do_v or_o if_o they_o do_v attempt_v any_o violence_n against_o we_o it_o shall_v chance_v for_o the_o best_a on_o our_o behalf_n sin_n cease_v not_o to_o provoke_v we_o sin_n if_o by_o any_o mean_n it_o may_v enforce_v we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o to_o make_v we_o to_o have_v gyltie_n conscience_n and_o our_o infirmity_n be_v great_a we_o do_v not_o resist_v sin_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v david_n be_v a_o great_a man_n &_o a_o holy_a 11._o yet_o be_v he_o throw_v into_o two_o most_o grevous_a &_o heinous_a sin_n now_o that_o he_o be_v deliver_v again_o from_o those_o sin_n 12._o &_o that_o they_o be_v forgive_v he_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o he_o beleve_v on_o that_o bless_a seed_n that_o be_v promise_v to_o come_v which_o shall_v destroy_v the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o make_v it_o his_o bond_n prisoner_n it_o therefore_o can_v

everlasting_o the_o faithful_a 5._o the_o sting_n thereof_o be_v take_v away_o by_o christ_n and_o itself_o be_v utter_o subdue_v and_o overcome_v 3_o as_o christ_n himself_o say_v by_o the_o

with_o the_o true_a christian_n then_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n for_o they_o to_o flee_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v exercise_v themselves_o in_o it_o the_o more_o diligent_o and_o confirm_v themselves_o with_o it_o which_o otherwise_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v if_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n have_v not_o be_v even_o the_o same_o may_v be_v speak_v

also_o the_o more_o that_o christian_n be_v assault_v of_o he_o well_o the_o more_o ware_a &_o circumspect_a do_v he_o make_v they_o and_o provoke_v they_o the_o more_o diligent_o to_o geve_v their_o

no_o fear_n of_o such_o a_o adversary_n now_o they_o watch_v now_o they_o be_v circumspect_a and_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o fall_v not_o into_o his_o danger_n all_o these_o thing_n therefore_o
