for_o the_o spirit_n stir_v up_o groan_n and_o sigh_n they_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n that_o familiar_a boldness_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n son_n it_o come_v from_o son_n they_o only_o

with_o boldness_n this_o open_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o liberty_n and_o of_o the_o liberty_n of_o son_n for_o this_o liberty_n here_o be_v the_o liberty_n of_o son_n of_o a_o spouse_n of_o king_n of_o member_n of_o christ_n the_o sweet_a liberty_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v it_o be_v the_o liberty_n that_o those_o sweet_a relation_n breed_v of_o a_o wife_n to_o

be_v change_v as_o christ_n tell_v nichodemus_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n and_o such_o a_o change_n as_o be_v a_o new_a birth_n it_o must_v be_v all_o new_a as_o a_o bell_n if_o there_o be_v

communion_n be_v between_o friend_n before_o those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o opposite_a condition_n can_v be_v friend_n there_o must_v be_v a_o alteration_n and_o this_o alteration_n it_o must_v be_v

to_o the_o sweet_a and_o holy_a and_o pure_a nature_n of_o god_n in_o some_o measure_n we_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o how_o can_v we_o
