thus_o thou_o shall_v be_v mortal_a or_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o mortality_n of_o which_o no_o other_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v than_o this_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o use_v his_o own_o

no_o emphasis_n no_o energy_n as_o he_o say_v in_o those_o word_n so_o he_o continue_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o emphatical_a in_o the_o apostle_n word_n concern_v lydia_n act_v 16._o 14._o the_o

machine_n god_n make_v use_v of_o at_o last_o that_o lydia_n give_v a_o attentive_a ear_n to_o paul_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o wonderful_a change_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o this_o female_a by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o work_n of_o providence_n by_o which_o all_o other_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v a_o mechanical_a operation_n for_o

conversion_n to_o the_o christian_a faith_n only_o to_o serve_v his_o hypothesis_n about_o grace_n and_o conversion_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o our_o critic_n will_v have_v we_o take_v no_o
