of_o the_o salve_n to_o the_o sore_a 2._o reason_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v because_o no_o man_n be_v so_o regenerate_v but_o he_o have_v many_o corruption_n still_o continue_v in_o he_o therefore_o s._n john_n say_v 1.8_o 1._o john_n 1.8_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o us._n and_o many_o such_o like_a place_n there_o be_v prove_v

for_o though_o corruption_n come_v in_o a_o moment_n by_o one_o sin_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o cast_v out_o in_o a_o moment_n at_o one_o time_n the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v lose_v in_o a_o minute_n

the_o mortify_n of_o those_o corruption_n and_o the_o renew_n of_o the_o other_o grace_n the_o regenerate_a man_n must_v still_o exercise_v repentance_n 1_o use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o
