of_o the_o present_a dispensation_n and_o the_o righteousness_n the_o wickedness_n the_o law_n of_o the_o dispensation_n the_o dispensation_n itself_o all_o must_v pass_v into_o the_o dust_n again_o when_o they_o have_v live_v out_o their_o transitory_a life_n and_o act_v their_o several_a part_n they_o must_v return_v to_o death_n so_o that_o though_o there_o be_v righteousness_n and_o

if_o his_o end_n must_v be_v the_o same_o with_o he_o who_o be_v most_o imperfect_a and_o wicked_a answ._n no_o it_o will_v not_o it_o can_v if_o right_o understand_v it_o will_v not_o destroy_v any_o true_a religion_n in_o any_o way_n of_o administration_n whatsoever_o but_o only_o that_o corrupt_a enmity_n corrupt_a hope_n corrupt_a desire_n corrupt_a selfish-interest_n which_o every_o

will_v be_v sweet_a and_o pleasant_a if_o we_o know_v ourselves_o and_o one_o another_o our_o own_o part_n and_o the_o part_n that_o other_o be_v to_o act_v we_o shall_v with_o more_o rest_n and_o

to_o their_o part_n this_o dispensation_n will_v have_v its_o end_n and_o then_o you_o will_v find_v no_o such_o great_a difference_n between_o you_o and_o they_o as_o you_o think_v there_o
