to_o be_v but_o arbitrary_a duty_n so_o to_o such_o christ_n promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n become_v as_o mere_a cipher_n because_o they_o do_v dispense_v with_o his_o law_n when_o and_o as_o

such_o a_o hope_n only_o can_v be_v a_o firm_a anchor_n in_o all_o extremity_n but_o popish_a hope_n as_o the_o spiders-web_n be_v soon_o sweep_v away_o like_a vanity_n yea_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n
