be_v but_o the_o spiritualness_n of_o the_o law_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o law_n in_o a_o gospel_n way_n for_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o law_n as_o law_n accept_v of_o no_o

the_o law_n never_o accept_v of_o they_o for_o their_o humiliation_n but_o the_o law_n in_o a_o gospel_n way_n so_o it_o come_v to_o humble_v the_o soul_n so_o as_o to_o do_v it_o good_a now_o therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o the_o law_n require_v have_v reference_n to_o the_o gospel_n they_o serve_v for_o the_o humble_v of_o the_o soul_n now_o get_v in_o these_o

these_o truth_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o though_o they_o put_v you_o to_o pain_n yet_o you_o must_v be_v content_a to_o draw_v they_o on_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o if_o these_o and_o the_o like_a truth_n be_v get_v into_o thy_o soul_n and_o thou_o be_v at_o plough_n and_o thy_o conscience_n be_v draw_v this_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v say_v god_n speed_v the_o blow_n yea_o god_n speed_v these_o
