and_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o be_v the_o first_o beginning_n of_o repentance_n and_o if_o we_o have_v not_o do_v this_o whatever_o we_o flatter_o think_v of_o ourselves_o we_o have_v it_o all_o yet_o to_o begin_v and_o yet_o be_v this_o i_o fear_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o
