time_n dead_a to_o the_o law_n and_o free_a but_o now_o though_o we_o be_v thus_o dead_a and_o be_v thus_o free_a yet_o possible_o a_o man_n may_v be_v too_o legal_a in_o these_o gospel_n time_n that_o be_v the_o second_o 3._o but_o than_o three_o when_o may_v a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v legal_a or_o moysaicall_a in_o opposition_n to_o this_o mediator_n jesus_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o

he_o be_v satisfy_v but_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o be_v not_o minister_n of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o a_o

to_o say_v no_o more_o in_o it_o but_o this_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n god_n speak_v by_o vision_n and_o dream_n and_o sign_n but_o now_o in_o these_o latter_a day_n he_o have_v
