and_o the_o reason_n be_v partly_o because_o the_o departure_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v gradual_a you_o can_v discern_v a_o man_n growth_n because_o he_o grow_v by_o little_a and_o little_a as_o it_o

of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o act_n and_o between_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n a_o godly_a man_n when_o he_o sin_n he_o act_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o fulfil_v it_o because_o when_o he_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o sin_n with_o such_o a_o full_a consent_n nor_o with_o such_o a_o
