by_o spiritual_a life_n be_v a_o power_n to_o act_v by_o eternal_a life_n be_v a_o power_n to_o act_v by_o the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o a_o fly_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o heaven_n because_o the_o fly_n have_v life_n which_o the_o heaven_n have_v not_o etc._n etc._n second_o else_o there_o be_v no_o just_a ground_n for_o christ_n to_o charge_v soul_n omission_n of_o diet_n breed_v disease_n so_o do_v omission_n of_o duty_n and_o make_v work_n either_o for_o repentance_n hell_n or_o the_o physician_n of_o soul_n the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n upon_o they_o as_o neglect_v of_o

the_o holy-ghost_n act_v they_o as_o at_o their_o first_o conversion_n notwithstanding_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o that_o spiritual_a principle_n of_o life_n that_o at_o first_o they_o receive_v from_o christ_n certain_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v not_o stand_v with_o the_o unspotted_a justice_n of_o god_n to_o charge_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n of_o omission_n upon_o believe_v
