and_o by_o the_o mark_n and_o figne_n of_o sanctification_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o both_o the_o one_o party_n and_o the_o other_o yea_o the_o whole_a generation_n of_o holy_a one_o the_o

will_v be_v grant_v that_o for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v his_o interest_n in_o god_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o part_n of_o sanctification_n whether_o it_o be_v
