hence_o in_o isaiah_n he_o be_v call_v holy_a holy_a holy_a to_o who_o nature_n because_o the_o bless_a angel_n and_o soul_n in_o heaven_n come_v near_o they_o also_o be_v call_v holy_a and_o although_o in_o regard_n of_o corporiety_n christ_n humane_a nature_n be_v distant_a from_o the_o divine_a yet_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o incomprehensible_a privilege_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a

nothing_o more_o sure_a then_o that_o this_o deserve_v best_a the_o name_n of_o holiness_n which_o have_v in_o itself_o a_o perpetual_a and_o inherent_a perfection_n and_o ordination_n for_o promote_a

such_o be_v the_o virtue_n which_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v infuse_v into_o we_o as_o wisdom_n hope_v love_n and_o chief_o true_a justify_v faith_n which_o therefore_o in_o scripture_n be_v
