to_o nothing_o four_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o be_v holy_a v._o be_v not_o hinder_v from_o come_v to_o christ_n albeit_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o holiness_n as_o you_o desire_v vi_o hence_o we_o learn_v how_o to_o understand_v christ_n aright_o now_o there_o be_v divers_a consequence_n that_o flow_v from_o hence_o as_o i._o hence_o we_o may_v see_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o condition_n of_o believer_n now_o and_o that_o in_o adam_n and_o we_o may_v see_v that_o believer_n be_v in_o a_o better_a condition_n than_o adam_n be_v why_o because_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o which_o adam_n be_v make_v it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v natural_a that_o be_v that_o only_o come_v from_o god_n the_o creator_n from_o he_o make_v

the_o estate_n of_o adam_n but_o now_o the_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v come_v from_o another_o principle_n it_o come_v not_o from_o god_n as_o creator_n mere_o but_o from_o god_n through_o a_o mediator_n from_o god_n through_o his_o son_n it_o come_v through_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v a_o partake_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o christ_n we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o work_n in_o adam_n only_o the_o text_n faith_n the_o lord_n make_v he_o according_a to_o his_o own_o image_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v his_o holiness_n through_o union_n of_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n and_o through_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v send_v into_o he_o by_o the_o father_n and_o the_o

again_o there_o be_v other_o that_o must_v perish_v eternal_o and_o be_v cast_v into_o prison_n and_o there_o rot_v in_o prison_n eternal_o but_o to_o some_o god_n be_v please_v to_o give_v another_o

that_o be_v set_v up_o and_o have_v a_o little_a stock_n but_o so_o that_o he_o must_v give_v account_n to_o his_o father_n every_o day_n and_o then_o he_o be_v faithful_a though_o he_o have_v loss_n he_o will_v make_v up_o his_o loss_n and_o such_o a_o course_n be_v take_v as_o he_o shall_v never_o break_v again_o for_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o continual_a supply_n in_o his_o father_n hand_n or_o

the_o proclamation_n of_o god_n in_o general_n will_v not_o bring_v in_o sinner_n so_o christ_n do_v
