of_o christ_n seal_v with_o his_o blood_n to_o the_o expiration_n of_o all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n second_o as_o the_o moral_a law_n expiration_n be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o it_o be_v of_o a_o double_a use_n first_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v by_o faith_n the_o moral_a law_n perfection_n in_o he_o as_o give_v of_o god_n imputative_o to_o justification_n and_o so_o to_o receive_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n second_o we_o be_v to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o it_o as_o our_o rule_n of_o imitation_n in_o love_n to_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n and_o have_v do_v
