establish_v another_o here_o be_v little_a gospel_n a_o second_o difficulty_n be_v we_o must_v either_o say_v christ_n have_v purchase_v to_o we_o pardon_v for_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel-law_n

the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o law_n be_v imperfect_a before_o the_o gospel_n be_v because_o there_o be_v not_o power_n to_o obey_v a_o

at_o this_o strait_a with_o the_o distinction_n of_o moral_a and_o physical_a impotence_n god_n can_v just_o command_v what_o be_v physical_o impossible_a but_o he_o may_v what_o be_v moral_o so_o
