you_o have_v take_v and_o by_o wicked_a hand_n have_v crucify_v and_o slay_v to_o clear_v this_o truth_n and_o prevent_v objection_n we_o must_v know_v first_o that_o the_o god_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o flesh_n can_v flow_v in_o upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n both_o imperceivable_o without_o observation_n as_o the_o soul_n act_v in_o the_o body_n or_o as_o the_o light_n enter_v the_o

therefore_o his_o purity_n not_o blend_v with_o their_o ungodliness_n nor_o their_o unrighteousness_n blanch_v by_o his_o justice_n more_o than_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o steam_n
