such_o a_o excellent_a be_v man_n also_o see_v that_o receive_v his_o be_v from_o another_o and_o not_o have_v it_o from_o himself_o it_o be_v most_o just_a and_o reasonable_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v under_o the_o will_n of_o he_o who_o give_v he_o his_o be_v and_o not_o under_o the_o conduct_n and_o government_n of_o his_o own_o will_n these_o deduction_n do_v natural_o flow_v from_o the_o

and_o qualify_v to_o give_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o his_o creation_n man_n we_o know_v at_o first_o be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a

also_o as_o it_o be_v first_o create_v have_v no_o obliquity_n in_o it_o but_o be_v incline_v to_o good_a his_o affection_n be_v all_o regular_a god_n make_v man_n upright_o as_o the_o scripture_n

our_o own_o sad_a experience_n but_o yet_o though_o man_n be_v not_o create_v at_o first_o in_o a_o impeccable_a estate_n but_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o sin_n yet_o he_o be_v

that_o law_n that_o say_v the_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n that_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n against_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o
