of_o state_n wherein_o it_o keep_v it_o residency_n 259._o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o point_n i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v with_o i_o that_o when_o god_n at_o first_o give_v man_n a_o

be_v of_o the_o soul_n in_o god_n at_o first_o be_v man_n true_a be_v and_o his_o true_a happiness_n now_o man_n fall_v from_o god_n god_n in_o his_o justice_n leave_v man_n so_o that_o the_o actual_a

howbeit_o the_o lord_n have_v seat_v in_o man_n soul_n a_o certain_a character_n of_o himself_o the_o soul_n be_v thereby_o make_v to_o re-aspire_a towards_o that_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la that_o

as_o of_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n which_o be_v give_v to_o make_v righteous_a and_o to_o give_v life_n and_o salvation_n this_o pernicious_a opinion_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o justify_v and_o
