and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o change_n of_o nature_n be_v here_o in_o sanctification_n we_o shall_v never_o know_v in_o heaven_n the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o and_o those_o that_o

the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o those_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v to_o salvation_n no_o that_o be_v out_o of_o our_o reach_n he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o go_v to_o

that_o believe_v in_o h●m_n because_o faith_n be_v the_o radical_a grace_n from_o whence_o the_o rest_n spring_n answ._n but_o faith_n be_v a_o hide_a grace_n many_o time_n grace_n and_o the_o
