thing_n may_v have_v be_v observe_v to_o you_o and_o by_o a_o curious_a eye_n more_o distinct_o to_o you_o yet_o pro_fw-la modulo_fw-la i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o plain_a to_o you_o and_o

etc._n one_o will_v have_v think_v now_o here_o have_v be_v enough_o say_v upon_o this_o argument_n for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_o speak_v and_o what_o more_o cutting_o and_o press_o than_o this_o be_v there_o any_o weighty_a argument_n than_o lif_n and_o death_n the_o best_a of_o life_n even_o a_o life_n of_o blessedness_n and_o the_o worst_a of_o death_n a_o portion_n with_o

along_o through_o this_o whole_a parable_n and_o the_o next_o be_v not_o much_o unlike_o it_o neither_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o inculcate_v and_o beat_v upon_o hearer_n the_o same_o 2._o truth_n the_o same_o thing_n again_o and_o again_o sure_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v have_v spare_v this_o pain_n he_o do_v all_o thing_n 37._o well_o and_o as_o he_o be_v

of_o life_n in_o vain_a to_o no_o purpose_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o it_o and_o sure_o we_o may_v follow_v his_o example_n safe_o herein_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o

and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o of_o you_o can_v make_v it_o out_o from_o many_o other_o instance_n in_o his_o example_n how_o he_o do_v often_o beat_v the_o same_o thing_n upon_o his_o

under_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n special_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v then_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o law_n sin_n that_o 12._o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o and_o that_o sin_n have_v its_o strength_n from_o it_o and_o so_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n be_v a_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o or_o be_v the_o law_n death_n

it_o be_v sin_n that_o be_v the_o evil_a the_o law_n be_v holy_a and_o good_a o_o but_o the_o law_n it_o work_v wrath_n and_o work_v death_n and_o can_v this_o then_o be_v good_a and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v such_o a_o mercy_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o be_v it_o a_o favour_n to_o be_v put_v into_o golden_a fetter_n suppose_v the_o law_n to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a yet_o since_o it_o be_v

to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v whether_o

to_o be_v sin_n but_o that_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v why_o but_o be_v that_o then_o that_o be_v good_a make_v death_n to_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o must_v know_v
