their_o old_a faith_n and_o suppose_a grace_n that_o they_o think_v they_o have_v indeed_o the_o old_a covenant_n will_v show_v thou_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o that_o a_o great_a one_o too_o but_o the_o old_a covenant_n the_o law_n will_v not_o show_v thou_o without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o thou_o be_v without_o all_o grace_n by_o nature_n no_o but_o in_o the_o

shall_v deal_v with_o thou_o in_o severity_n according_a to_o thy_o deserve_n do_v thou_o cry_v to_o god_n for_o faith_n in_o a_o crucify_a christ_n that_o thou_o may_v have_v all_o thy_o sin_n wash_v
