and_o will_v but_o walk_v in_o their_o strength_n and_o keep_v their_o foot_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v than_o all_o shall_v be_v well_o but_o mistake_v not_o christian_n your_o mother_n say_v

original_a sin_n do_v not_o only_o remain_v upon_o elect_a one_o as_o a_o offence_n to_o god_n and_o lay_v upon_o they_o a_o obligation_n to_o death_n since_o christ_n die_v until_o their_o
