18.20_o the_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o these_o consideration_n be_v this_o that_o although_o god_n do_v dwell_v in_o heaven_n by_o his_o divine_a essence_n and_o all-glorious_a presence_n and_o so_o

of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 3.18_o 2_o cor._n 3.18_o but_o we_o all_o with_o open_a face_n behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v change_v into_o the_o

teach_v the_o ephesian_n according_a say_v he_o as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o

world_n i_o answer_v god_n do_v from_o eternity_n see_v the_o lose_a condition_n of_o his_o people_n through_o their_o transgression_n of_o his_o law_n and_o their_o deface_v his_o image_n of_o

of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n say_v he_o create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v before_o ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v
