the_o misery_n of_o a_o natural_a man_n consist_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o consequence_n of_o sin_n the_o fault_n and_o the_o guilt_n malum_fw-la culpae_fw-la malum_fw-la

therefore_o he_o be_v a_o sufficient_a saviour_n the_o proof_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v provide_v for_o before_o the_o assumption_n i_o will_v make_v good_a in_o the_o part_n for_o first_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o our_o misery_n whether_o sin_n the_o root_n or_o punishment_n the_o fruit_n be_v consider_v 1._o he_o have_v take_v away_o all_o sin_n both_o our_o

it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v adopt_v to_o be_v his_o son_n and_o adorn_v with_o his_o son_n holiness_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o have_v

the_o people_n what_o they_o shall_v do_v the_o people_n must_v not_o account_v too_o high_o of_o their_o minister_n for_o two_o reason_n 1._o they_o be_v but_o the_o lord_n servant_n they_o may_v
