in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o freegrace_n &_o redemption_n by_o christ_n god_n have_v this_o purpose_n and_o aim_v namely_o to_o show_v a_o visible_a ground_n upon_o which_o all_o humble_a sinner_n may_v

slay_v many_o a_o soul_n whereas_o in_o other_o affair_n we_o reason_v quite_o contrary_a i_o be_o sick_a and_o can_v help_v myself_o therefore_o i_o will_v go_v to_o the_o physician_n can_v read_v
