in_o stead_n of_o 10._o life_n it_o wrought_v death_n in_o he_o and_o final_o that_o the_o law_n be_v so_o far_o unable_a to_o crush_v the_o force_n of_o 11._o sin_n in_o he_o as_o that_o sin_n much_o rather_o find_v a_o vantage_n to_o itself_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o commandment_n to_o seduce_v he_o and_o to_o kill_v he_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n be_v the_o law_n call_v a_o husband_n that_o 5._o beget_v fruit_n unto_o death_n the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o 56_o death_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o sight_n also_o of_o the_o natural_a man_n as_o he_o be_v affect_v when_o the_o write_a law_n approach_v he_o and_o you_o see_v what_o he_o be_v even_o so_o far_o from_o be_v better_o dispose_v by_o it_o and_o frame_v to_o that_o tough_a battle_n and_o conflict_n

than_o before_o how_o far_o the_o hypocrite_n by_o his_o enlighten_v can_v go_v beyond_o the_o mere_a natural_a man_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a as_o appear_v hereafter_o but_o neither_o have_v the_o hypocrite_n any_o such_o conflict_n as_o who_o faith_n and_o religion_n be_v never_o unfeigned_a therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n since_o the_o natural_a man_n neither_o by_o his_o own_o
