and_o hereby_o come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n i_o compare_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o seal_n and_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o wax_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o hand_n

upon_o the_o soul_n the_o next_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v this_o 2_o 2_o it_o not_o only_o close_v with_o god_n spirit_n in_o the_o promise_n but_o it_o look_v at_o that_o particular_a grace_n in_o
