he_o incline_v the_o will_n to_o comply_v ready_o with_o the_o whole_a know_v and_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n he_o sanctify_v the_o affection_n and_o work_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n all_o these_o

without_o who_o conduct_n thou_o can_v never_o come_v to_o christ_n effectual_o and_o so_o as_o to_o be_v ease_v of_o thy_o burden_n 2_o when_o thou_o have_v seek_v for_o the_o spirit_n and_o do_v
