there_o require_v but_o so_o many_o several_a part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v lose_v be_v they_o not_o the_o disposition_n of_o his_o mind_n the_o attribute_n of_o his_o will_n and_o the_o method_n of_o his_o providence_n that_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o we_o may_v be_v perfect_a as_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a st._n matth._n 5._o ult_n 4._o and_o be_v not_o the_o apostle_n particular_o careful_a to_o instill_v this_o principle_n into_o we_o not_o only_o in_o the_o text_n but_o every_o where_n throughout_o their_o epistle_n that_o for_o this_o purpose_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n 1_o john_n 3.8_o that_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o

subject_a that_o we_o must_v be_v free_a from_o the_o one_o before_o we_o can_v attain_v the_o other_o that_o unless_o we_o escape_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n we_o can_v but_o if_o we_o do_v escape_v they_o we_o shall_v attain_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o a_o participation_n of_o his_o nature_n by_o the_o world_n we_o understand_v the_o pleasure_n and_o allurement_n of_o it_o
