and_o consequent_o his_o kingly_a office_n for_o if_o we_o be_v repute_v to_o have_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o innocency_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o business_n for_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n to_o do_v 16._o it_o seem_v to_o make_v internal_a sanctification_n by_o the_o spirit_n needless_a or_o at_o least_o as_o to_o one_o half_a of_o its_o use_n for_o if_o we_o be_v by_o just_a

unnecessary_a at_o least_o as_o to_o half_a its_o use_n for_o if_o in_o god_n true_a account_n we_o have_v perfect_o obey_v to_o the_o death_n by_o another_o how_o can_v we_o be_v require_v to_o do_v

nature_n less_o holy_a and_o at_o enmity_n to_o sin_n than_o indeed_o he_o have_v if_o he_o can_v repute_v a_o man_n lade_v with_o hateful_a sin_n to_o be_v as_o perfecty_a holy_a obedient_a and_o
