own_o precept_n 2_o which_o if_o in_o the_o second_o place_n you_o please_v to_o take_v account_n of_o you_o will_v find_v they_o another_o argument_n of_o this_o truth_n it_o will_v not_o be_v

of_o that_o power_n shall_v procure_v man_n a_o dispensation_n from_o holiness_n here_o or_o a_o title_n to_o heaven_n hereafter_o and_o if_o after_o both_o these_o you_o will_v please_v to_o read_v
