never_o like_a to_o look_v after_o the_o remedy_n the_o torment_n of_o the_o disease_n be_v the_o solicitor_n of_o health_n and_o the_o best_a advocate_n for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o the_o

sin_n be_v dead_a that_o it_o be_v not_o feel_v to_o be_v alive_a but_o be_v in_o we_o like_o a_o gangrene_n in_o a_o mortify_a member_n that_o eat_v on_o insensible_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o

from_o our_o presumption_n and_o security_n but_o because_o this_o physic_n of_o itself_o be_v very_o destructive_a and_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v let_v alone_o will_v never_o cease_v till_o it_o have_v bring_v we_o to_o despair_v and_o so_o kill_v we_o with_o a_o contrary_a disease_n therefore_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o gospel_n for_o a_o cordial_n to_o abate_v and_o qualify_v the_o violence_n of_o this_o corrosive_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o be_v desperate_a and_o hopeless_a of_o health_n to_o meet_v with_o the_o rigour_n and_o sincerity_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o hold_v we_o up_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o the_o offer_v of_o mercy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o law_n be_v like_o a_o lance_n to_o open_v our_o tumor_n and_o to_o search_v our_o wound_n but_o as_o the_o
