live_n outward_o they_o seem_v before_o to_o have_v be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o perdition_n yet_o now_o the_o 6_o spirit_n of_o god_n mighty_o work_v in_o they_o unto_o obedience_n to_o

of_o god_n and_o his_o especial_a grace_n that_o they_o be_v the_o undoubted_a child_n of_o god_n appoint_v to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o so_o as_o by_o their_o wickedness_n and_o ungodly_a live_n they_o show_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n which_o follow_v the_o outward_a appearance_n to_o be_v reprobate_n and_o castawaye_n so_o now_o by_o their_o obedience_n
