the_o letter_n without_o the_o spirit_n signify_v little_a and_o the_o best_a ordinance_n without_o christ_n as_o to_o our_o salvation_n will_v prove_v just_a nothing_o they_o be_v indeed_o in_o

then_o although_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o ordinance_n with_o encourage_v expectation_n of_o help_n from_o god_n in_o they_o yet_o shall_v we_o thus_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o hill_n themselves_o to_o the_o high_a tower_a eloquence_n or_o most_o raise_a ability_n or_o most_o sublime_a piety_n of_o the_o minister_n that_o we_o most_o admire_v so_o as_o to_o expect_v save_v help_n
