this_o efficiency_n be_v so_o sweet_o attemper_v to_o the_o native_a liberty_n of_o the_o will_n that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o pain_n and_o a_o torment_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v separate_v from_o

turn_v the_o bent_n and_o inclination_n of_o it_o to_o himself_o which_o before_o stand_v towards_o sin_n and_o vanity_n and_o that_o this_o may_v not_o infringe_v the_o will_n prerogative_n of_o

for_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o will_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o redouble_a pure_a act_n for_o otherwise_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n themselves_o that_o be_v under_o that_o bless_a necessity_n that_o they_o can_v but_o love_v and_o serve_v god_n will_v not_o love_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o free_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n consist_v in_o a_o act_n upon_o rational_a ground_n and_o

free_a in_o act_v so_o that_o here_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n may_v not_o violate_v the_o causality_n of_o god_n purpose_n he_o change_v it_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o irresistible_a grace_n and_o yet_o that_o this_o irresistible_a grace_n may_v not_o violate_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n which_o be_v its_o natural_a privilege_n he_o persuade_v it_o by_o such_o natural_a
