in_o spiritual_a lust_n at_o first_o we_o mortify_v grosser_n evil_n such_o as_o oath_n drunkenness_n uncleanness_n worldly-mindedness_a or_o the_o like_a but_o when_o we_o grow_v in_o this_o bless_a

this_o method_n the_o apostle_n set_v down_o let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n first_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o body_n and_o then_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o their_o entrance_n into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n first_o they_o sit_v upon_o the_o

if_o we_o find_v that_o resistance_n against_o sin_n grow_v strong_a that_o sin_n can_v advance_v and_o carry_v on_o his_o army_n so_o as_o former_o that_o sin_n be_v encounter_v at_o first_o or_o
