of_o separation_n to_o make_v themselves_o the_o mark_n of_o several_a church_n to_o which_o apostle_n be_v the_o guide_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o carnality_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v it_o be_v what_o

will_v hold_v out_o so_o long_o who_o come_v disintere_v hither_o this_o second_o part_n of_o this_o sermon_n shall_v be_v spend_v in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o that_o which_o master_n deane_z of_o

the_o present_a separation_n of_o these_o time_n do_v build_v themselves_o these_o ground_n therefore_o i_o shall_v now_o in_o the_o next_o place_n call_v to_o some_o reckon_n and_o account_n and_o
