all_o humbleness_n of_o spirit_n this_o person_n and_o his_o personal-obedience_n as_o the_o great_a treasure_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o cause_v the_o soul_n in_o all_o thankfulness_n to_o walk_v in_o obedience_n before_o and_o to_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o common_a light_n look_v for_o a_o righteousness_n within_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n in_o which_o man_n live_v and_o consequent_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o the_o spirit_n beget_v a_o esteem_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n as_o the_o only_a mean_n
