there_o be_v two_o error_n in_o the_o world_n about_o the_o law_n one_o be_v when_o man_n think_v to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o strait_a gate_n by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n the_o other_o be_v when_o man_n think_v they_o may_v enter_v into_o heaven_n without_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o law_n both_o these_o i_o say_v be_v error_n for_o as_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v so_o without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v save_v heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o before_o one_o jot_n or_o title_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v fail_v till_o all_o be_v fulfil_v he_o therefore_o must_v be_v damn_v that_o can_v be_v save_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o law_n and_o indeed_o this_o law_n be_v the_o flame_a sword_n that_o turn_v every_o way_n yea_o that_o lie_v to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n for_o a_o bar_n to_o all_o unbeliever_n and_o unsanctified_a professor_n for_o it_o be_v take_v out_o
