which_o tell_v we_o what_o evil_a we_o be_v to_o decline_v and_o shun_v and_o what_o good_a we_o be_v to_o prosecute_v and_o pursue_v now_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a holiness_n internal_a and_o

after_o the_o other_o now_o this_o holy_a walk_n do_v consist_v in_o a_o careful_a avoid_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o sinful_a and_o in_o a_o eager_a pursuit_n after_o that_o which_o be_v good_a it_o have_v two_o part_n the_o one_o privative_a the_o other_o positive_a the_o privative_a part_n which_o be_v call_v mortification_n or_o a_o die_n to_o sin_n the_o positive_a part_n which_o be_v

now_o after_o this_o supper_n ordinance_n we_o be_v to_o walk_v more_o holy_o to_o hate_v sin_n more_o than_o ever_o and_o to_o love_n god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v spiritual_o
