we_o receive_v this_o inward_a qualification_n that_o we_o have_v another_o judgement_n of_o thing_n than_o this_o world_n have_v what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o be_v bad_a what_o be_v true_a and_o

this_o be_v from_o his_o qualification_n and_o this_o qualification_n and_o conversation_n go_v together_o he_o have_v a_o new_a conversation_n conversation_n he_o carry_v himself_o even_o like_a to_o

and_o he_o be_v qualify_v in_o some_o degree_n as_o christ_n be_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n he_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o he_o show_v

and_o they_o make_v a_o show_n of_o that_o that_o be_v not_o in_o they_o because_o if_o he_o shall_v make_v show_n of_o that_o his_o heart_n will_v tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n a_o true_a saint_n differ_v from_o a_o

so_o it_o be_v a_o prevail_a course_n because_o it_o be_v obedience_n to_o god_n order_n and_o it_o be_v a_o prevail_a course_n because_o likewise_o it_o set_v god_n on_o work_n work_n i'faith_o that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o set_v prayer_n on_o work_n for_o prayer_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o voice_n of_o faith_n the_o flame_n of_o faith_n the_o fire_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n
