of_o this_o we_o have_v in_o our_o last_o discourse_n show_v you_o some_o of_o the_o believer_n privilege_n be_v seal_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n and_o that_o first_o in_o the_o many_o

it_o if_o god_n do_v send_v a_o angel_n to_o do_v this_o work_n it_o will_v be_v a_o honour_n to_o poor_a man_n but_o for_o god_n to_o send_v his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o seal_v we_o be_v more_o and_o
