a_o strong_a argument_n of_o our_o be_v in_o a_o present_a estate_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o our_o title_n unto_o a_o future_a estate_n of_o glory_n 1_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n of_o our_o be_v in_o a_o present_a estate_n of_o grace_n because_o a_o sure_a evidence_n of_o our_o sincerity_n and_o spiritual_a ingenuity_n first_o of_o our_o sincerity_n flesh_n and_o blood_n nature_n base_a

and_o proposal_n and_o therefore_o proceed_v from_o the_o great_a height_n and_o perfection_n of_o of_o grace_n that_o be_v attainable_a in_o this_o life_n it_o be_v second_o a_o sure_a evidence_n
