branch_n it_o out_o into_o three_o observation_n 1._o that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a and_o unconverted_a state_n obs_n 1._o obs_n before_o the_o spirit_n

obs_n 3._o obs_n each_o of_o these_o point_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n and_o importance_n therefore_o i_o shall_v distinct_o and_o large_o speak_v to_o they_o handle_v first_o observe_v handle_v i_o

of_o the_o two_o other_o i_o shall_v main_o direct_v my_o discourse_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n as_o to_o the_o law_n of_o death_n that_o i_o shall_v only_o speak_v to_o in_o the_o close_a of_o
