i_o will_v pass_v from_o this_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n the_o righteousness_n you_o have_v describe_v be_v not_o the_o true_a gospel_n inward_a holiness_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o the_o

in_o or_o obtain_v by_o our_o adhere_n to_o they_o those_o thing_n which_o alone_o can_v make_v or_o work_v in_o the_o soul_n those_o true_o gospel_n inward_a act_n of_o holiness_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o inward_a gospel_n holiness_n of_o which_o as_o your_o description_n be_v utter_o destitute_a so_o neither_o can_v they_o by_o that_o be_v obtain_v or_o come_v into_o the_o heart_n 1._o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2._o faith_n in_o christ._n 3._o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n without_o these_o three_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o gospel_n holiness_n in_o man_n as_o before_o i_o have_v also_o hint_v at_o but_o now_o as_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o three_o find_v in_o your_o description_n of_o inward_a holiness_n so_o neither_o can_v you_o or_o other_o by_o all_o your_o inclination_n either_o to_o those_o you_o call_v first_o principle_n of_o natural_a reason_n or_o the_o dictate_v of_o humane_a nature_n obtain_v

holiness_n as_o will_v further_o be_v manifest_a in_o this_o that_o follow_v 1._o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o obtain_v by_o your_o description_n that_o consist_v only_o in_o principle_n of_o
