be_v a_o most_o suitable_a conclusion_n of_o all_o the_o action_n of_o a_o christian_n life_n the_o first_o and_o second_o of_o these_o doctrine_n offer_v we_o by_o this_o text_n i_o shall_v pass_v

spirit_n do_v here_o signify_v by_o spirit_n here_o can_v be_v mean_v nothing_o but_o the_o rational_a soul_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a constitutive_a part_n of_o the_o man_n for_o though_o the_o word_n do_v sometime_o signify_v the_o wind_n or_o breath_n and_o sometime_o the_o moral_a and_o intellectual_a qualification_n and_o have_v divers_a other_o sense_n i_o need_v not_o stay_v to_o

sometime_o the_o word_n spirit_n as_o heb._n 4._o 12._o etc._n etc._n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o soul_n and_o then_o it_o either_o signify_v the_o superior_a faculty_n in_o the_o same_o soul_n
