that_o i_o may_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o we_o be_v agree_v that_o as_o to_o the_o first_o edition_n of_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n to_o adam_n and_o no_n it_o extend_v or_o be_v in_o force_n to_o all_o the_o world_n at_o least_o till_o by_o enmity_n against_o grace_n they_o have_v make_v themselves_o desperate_a as_o the_o serpent_n seed_n yea_o then_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o

world_n into_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o he_o find_v they_o in_o if_o he_o do_v any_o no_o good_a by_o his_o incarnation_n he_o will_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n therefore_o they_o that_o never_o
