therefore_o
this_o the_o apostle_n show_v and_o affirm_v therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a such_o shall_v fall_v away_o or_o suffer_v a_o spiritual_a death_n here_o or_o a_o eternal_a death_n in_o hell_n hereafter_o 2_o dly_z my_o second_o argument_n from_o hence_o be_v this_o because_o the_o child_n of_o a_o natural_a parent_n can_v cease_v to_o be_v his_o child_n whilst_o he_o live_v or_o life_n

this_o appear_v by_o that_o i_o mention_v last_o because_o of_o that_o new_a nature_n or_o bless_a seed_n he_o have_v receive_v 3._o he_o can_v live_v in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n or_o make_v a_o
