you_o may_v take_v it_o up_o in_o its_o nature_n and_o in_o its_o effect_n i_o think_v if_o one_o shall_v come_v from_o the_o dead_a have_v the_o chain_n of_o everlasting_a wrath_n wreathe_v about_o

aspect_n though_o we_o conceive_v that_o if_o many_o christian_n be_v to_o be_v paint_v we_o may_v fix_v the_o moon_n upon_o their_o head_n for_o they_o use_v not_o the_o world_n as_o their_o

unto_o wise_a solomon_n that_o she_o be_v not_o the_o mother_n of_o the_o child_n who_o plead_v for_o the_o division_n of_o it_o so_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o he_o who_o will_v not_o take_v whole_a christ_n but_o will_v have_v he_o divide_v be_v not_o one_o that_o be_v predestinate_v to_o the_o adoption_n of_o child_n we_o confess_v there_o be_v many_o that_o love_n christ_n coat_n
