also_o the_o christian_n of_o former_a age_n do_v here_o in_o accord_n with_o they_o whereas_o our_o antinomian_o you_o see_v flat_o deny_v that_o god_n do_v see_v or_o take_v notice_n of_o any_o evil_n or_o fail_n in_o aught_o of_o they_o presume_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n no_o not_o of_o drunkenness_n or_o murder_n much_o less_o of_o a_o fraud_n of_o a_o lie_n yea_o

they_o live_v loyal_o again_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o some_o of_o the_o abovementioned_a assertion_n may_v yet_o bear_v a_o orthodox_n sense_n as_o indeed_o they_o do_v endeavour_v when_o
