a_o true_a christian_a he_o doct._n walk_n as_o christ_n walk_v if_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n before_o we_o make_v entrance_n hereupon_o let_v i_o expound_v to_o you_o two_o thing_n lest_o we_o meet_v

of_o be_v in_o christ_n we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n if_o we_o walk_v not_o as_o christ_n walk_v for_o take_v away_o the_o necessary_a consequent_a and_o you_o take_v away_o the_o

for_o grace_n john_n 1._o 16._o mark_v he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o receive_v his_o fullness_n but_o some_o of_o his_o fullness_n so_o that_o none_o can_v walk_v as_o christ_n walk_v with_o a_o

beloved_n this_o be_v a_o clause_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v in_o christ_n unless_o he_o walk_v as_o christ_n walk_v for_o thus_o run_v the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n math._n 11._o 29._o learn_v of_o i_o for_o i_o be_o meek_a and_o lowly_a of_o heart_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n unto_o your_o soul_n mark_v there_o be_v no_o

of_o christ_n follow_v christ_n his_o copy_n be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a pure_a as_o he_o be_v pure_a walk_v as_o he_o walk_v this_o will_v the_o better_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o
