for_o the_o soul_n i_o know_v faith_n and_o sense_n and_o feel_v differ_v but_o i_o say_v faith_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o what_o the_o father_n have_v do_v and_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o poor_a sinner_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o what_o great_a thing_n god_n have_v do_v and_o christ_n have_v do_v then_o say_v a_o man_n shall_v god_n do_v such_o great_a thing_n

and_o thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o faith_n will_v do_v very_o great_a thing_n and_o thus_o now_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n i_o come_v to_o the_o application_n applic._n 1_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a true_a save_a faith_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n and_o very_o great_a thing_n then_o we_o may_v here_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n do_v no_o great_a
