i_o will_v here_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o be_v to_o give_v some_o instance_n wherein_o you_o may_v see_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n many_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v in_o scripture_n i_o

you_o will_v all_o grant_v that_o the_o lord_n let_v his_o people_n be_v break_v thereby_o that_o he_o may_v the_o more_o and_o the_o sure_a many_o time_n bind_v they_o up_o it_o be_v true_a you_o shall_v abominat_fw-la every_o evil_a way_n and_o you_o may_v not_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a in_o this_o respect_n i_o may_v say_v that_o grace_n have_v many_o
