in_o the_o oil_n of_o love_n so_o he_o strike_v it_o home_o with_o the_o blow_n of_o forcible_a argument_n and_o persuasion_n and_o the_o first_o argument_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o ver_fw-la 12_o in_o

your_o progressiveness_n in_o grace_n proficiency_n in_o holiness_n there_o will_v be_v a_o more_o abundant_a entrance_n make_v for_o you_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n

you_o go_v with_o a_o full_a measure_n of_o grace_n with_o proficiency_n in_o holiness_n by_o add_v one_o degree_n of_o grace_n unto_o another_o then_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o abundant_a entrance_n make_v for_o you_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n as_o when_o a_o mean_a and_o ordinary_a person_n come_v to_o your_o house_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o open_v the_o common-wicket_n or_o the_o
