of_o his_o own_o freewill_n for_o the_o second_o god_n do_v that_o which_o belong_v to_o he_o that_o be_v he_o give_v man_n a_o perfect_a law_n require_v he_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o love_n of_o

god_n and_o fix_v it_o on_o these_o low_a fleshly_a thing_n and_o hereby_o do_v blot_v out_o the_o spiritual_a image_n of_o god_n from_o his_o soul._n so_o that_o man_n do_v both_o fall_n short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o be_v his_o end_n and_o put_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o way_n by_o which_o he_o shall_v have_v attain_v it_o and_o this_o both_o as_o to_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o

to_o please_v the_o lord_n with_o this_o nature_n or_o corrupt_a inclination_n we_o be_v all_o now_o bear_v into_o the_o world_n for_o who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a

which_o end_n you_o must_v further_o know_v that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n not_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v perish_v in_o his_o sin_n provide_v a_o remedy_n by_o cause_v his_o son_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n and_o be_v in_o one_o person_n god_n and_o man_n to_o become_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o by_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n on_o the_o cross_n to_o ransom_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o have_v thus_o redeem_a we_o the_o father_n have_v deliver_v we_o into_o his_o hand_n as_o his_o own_o hereupon_o the_o father_n and_o the_o mediator_n do_v make_v a_o new_a law_n and_o covenant_n for_o man_n not_o like_o the_o first_o which_o give_v life_n to_o none_o but_o the_o perfect_o obedient_a and_o condemn_a man_n for_o every_o sin_n but_o christ_n have_v make_v a_o law_n of_o grace_n or_o a_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o everlasting_a life_n to_o all_o that_o by_o true_a repentance_n and_o by_o faith_n in_o
