of_o his_o own_o transcendent_a perfection_n and_o excellence_n but_o i_o come_v to_o thing_n more_o specifical_o applicable_a to_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n by_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o 2._o i_o have_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n mention_v the_o suspicion_n and_o inclination_n of_o mankind_n to_o think_v the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a state_n thereof_o for_o reward_n and_o punishment_n but_o this_o supposition_n be_v much_o cloud_v with_o uncertain_a conjecture_n and_o imagination_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n have_v give_v we_o a_o

say_v to_o have_v bring_v immortality_n and_o life_n to_o light_n by_o the_o gospel_n 3._o whereas_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n i_o have_v show_v that_o although_o the_o external_n blessing_n

the_o free_a collation_n of_o the_o great_a benefit_n that_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v capable_a of_o namely_o immortal_a glory_n life_n and_o blessedness_n be_v the_o great_a allective_a of_o
