god_n for_o those_o enjoyment_n they_o have_v of_o he_o in_o this_o earthly_a tabernacle_n but_o yet_o not_o be_v so_o satisfy_v with_o any_o such_o enjoyment_n as_o not_o to_o desire_v it_o may_v

i_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o all_o who_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v thus_o earnest_o groan_v after_o absence_n from_o the_o body_n and_o presence_n with_o the_o lord_n but_o all_o

as_o wax_v then_o shall_v you_o also_o be_v seal_v to_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n of_o this_o seal_v of_o the_o spirit_n i_o be_o now_o to_o speak_v and_o that_o somewhat_o large_o be_v therefore_o to_o build_v high_a it_o be_v good_a to_o dig_v deep_a and_o lay_v the_o foundation_n sure_a the_o expression_n be_v undoubted_o metaphorical_a and_o must_v betoken_v something_o that_o

from_o i_o i_o know_v you_o not_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v seal_v by_o the_o spirit_n when_o we_o be_v by_o he_o regenerate_v and_o make_v new_a creature_n but_o i_o think_v regeneration_n be_v rather_o the_o spirit_n write_v the_o law_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o make_v we_o the_o epistle_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o seal_n in_o the_o text_n intend_v be_v the_o

why_o so_o many_o christian_n be_v so_o long_o without_o it_o 5._o what_o motive_n there_o be_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o labour_v after_o it_o 6._o what_o mean_n be_v to_o be_v use_v 1._o to_o gain_v
