it_o he_o sin_n not_o as_o he_o do_v before_o he_o be_v regenerate_v willing_o and_o notoriouslye_o therefore_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v

of_o god_n do_v rule_v and_o be_v predominate_a in_o he_o therefore_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v call_v infirmity_n because_o they_o proceed_v from_o corruption_n that_o be_v

because_o that_o humour_n bear_v the_o great_a sway_n in_o he_o so_o a_o christian_n be_v call_v a_o spiritual_a man_n not_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o remnante_n of_o flesh_n in_o he_o but_o because_o the_o spirit_n bear_v the_o great_a sway_n and_o over_o rule_v corruption_n in_o he_o therefore_o we_o must_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o justification_n &_o sanctification_n the_o
