shall_v not_o shelter_v ourselves_o in_o a_o formal_a outside_n sanctity_n but_o attain_v to_o that_o new-birth_n wherein_o all_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n be_v perfect_o vanquish_v and_o subdue_v

have_v we_o but_o common_a gratitude_n it_o will_v certain_o move_v we_o to_o make_v our_o return_n of_o love_n and_o affection_n in_o some_o degree_n answerable_a to_o so_o infinite_a a_o kindness_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v consider_v further_o that_o all_o this_o provision_n be_v only_o upon_o our_o account_n and_o that_o god_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o better_v or_o make_v more_o happy_a by_o our_o salvation_n this_o will_v turn_v it_o into_o admiration_n that_o god_n shall_v take_v such_o pain_n and_o compass_v such_o strange_a design_n and_o all_o for_o his_o enemy_n that_o wilful_o

gold_n for_o which_o yet_o we_o know_v that_o thing_n of_o great_a worth_n pertain_v to_o this_o life_n may_v be_v have_v but_o by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o immaculate_a

for_o he_o as_o for_o his_o own_o and_o what_o treasure_n be_v there_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n more_o valuable_a than_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o he_o

of_o one_o another_o now_o where_o there_o be_v no_o agreeableness_n or_o suitableness_n of_o nature_n there_o can_v be_v no_o firm_a union_n or_o society_n and_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o a_o
