suitable_a to_o such_o a_o inward_a principle_n the_o soul_n do_v not_o only_o now_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a but_o learn_v to_o do_v well_o this_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n so_o often_o mind_n

be_v teach_v of_o the_o spirit_n can_v bear_v witness_n unto_o this_o truth_n that_o the_o more_o that_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n appear_v within_o purify_n the_o inner_a man_n the_o more_o visible_a do_v that_o holiness_n appear_v without_o quest_n but_o it_o may_v be_v question_v what_o be_v these_o work_n of_o holiness_n that_o visible_o appear_v thus_o in_o the_o sanctify_a man_n ans_fw-fr
