your_o estate_n of_o nature_n you_o be_v dead_a in_o actual_a sin_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o original_a sin_n you_o live_v in_o the_o uncircumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o since_o you_o be_v

upon_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v never_o more_o have_v mind_n to_o they_o flesh_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o only_o cancel_v they_o but_o he_o have_v spoil_v the_o devil_n which_o have_v power_n to_o execute_v the_o forfeiture_n of_o these_o bond_n i_o say_v both_o in_o himself_o on_o the_o
