but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o vital_a strength_n so_o in_o other_o man_n there_o may_v be_v strength_n of_o resolution_n but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o self_n move_v strength_n &_o therefore_o it_o continue_v as_o it_o be_v &_o grow_v not_o but_o in_o vital_a strength_n there_o be_v a_o period_n to_o which_o it_o grow_v &_o never_o rest_v till_o it_o come_v up_o to_o it_o as_o we_o see_v in_o

the_o former_a sort_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o justification_n the_o latter_a to_o that_o of_o sanctification_n now_o christ_n have_v promise_v to_o heal_v these_o bruise_n w_z ch_z
