a_o good_a measure_n of_o attainment_n to_o the_o crucify_a of_o sin_n and_o live_v unto_o grace_n and_o godliness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n let_v we_o now_o return_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n

because_o as_o dead_a man_n be_v so_o senseless_a that_o their_o eye_n see_v not_o their_o ear_n hear_v not_o their_o hand_n touch_v not_o their_o palate_n taste_v not_o and_o their_o nostril_n

receive_v from_o it_o both_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n first_o for_o doctrine_n we_o may_v learn_v three_o point_n first_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o so_o many_o hear_v the_o

in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n do_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o live_v because_o they_o be_v dead_a second_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o have_v no_o disposition_n in_o ourselves_o to_o faith_n and_o goodness_n alas_o we_o think_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n to_o please_v god_n withal_o at_o a_o hour_n warning_n therefore_o we_o presume_v to_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n till_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n but_o can_v a_o dead_a man_n command_v faith_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o need_n i_o know_v that_o when_o god_n have_v enlighten_v the_o understanding_n and_o reveal_v jesus_n christ_n the_o
