of_o mistake_n and_o the_o due_a bound_a of_o the_o point_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v lay_v down_o and_o make_v good_a as_o 1._o that_o this_o freedom_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v simple_o and_o absolute_o for_o perfect_a deliverance_n from_o the_o very_o be_v and_o inhesion_n of_o sin_n but_o only_o for_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n in_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o law_n the_o high_a saint_n

the_o very_o low_a saint_n be_v true_o and_o real_o make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o inbeing_n and_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n betwixt_o

of_o the_o actual_a and_o partial_a dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o this_o admonition_n for_o though_o upon_o regeneration_n you_o be_v secure_v from_o its_o habitual_a
